Consultations regarding second round of peace talks underway – Arestovych

Consultations regarding the date and place of the second round of peace talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations are underway.

The relevant statement was made by Advisor to the Head of the Ukrainian President’s Office Oleksiy Arestovych in a commentary to Ukrinform.

“As for negotiations. It is unknown if they take place or not. Currently, consultations regarding the date, duration and place are underway. […] Indeed, we cannot rule out that they will take place today [March 2, 2022 – Ed.], but consultations are still underway,” Arestovych told.

In his words, an official statement in this regard will soon be released.

A reminder that, on February 28, 2022, the Ukrainian and Russian delegations met at the Ukrainian-Belarusian border near the Prypiat River. The key issue of talks was the immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops from the territory of Ukraine.
