Arakhamia: No peace treaties with Russia as long as its troops remain in Ukraine

The head of the Ukrainian delegation and the head of the parliamentary faction Servant of the People, David Arakhamia said this in a blitz interview with RBC-Ukraine, Ukrinform reports.

"Yes, of course," the politician assured, when asked the relevant question.

He said that at the first meeting, the Russian delegation confirmed that it would move within the framework of the Vienna Convention. According to Arakhamia, this is very helpful for the Ukrainian delegation, as the convention envisages that if the agreement is signed under pressure, it is considered null and void.

"Since they have already officially stated that they adhere to the norms of the Vienna Convention, and international guarantors will not sit at the table without it at all, then this is our safeguard. When we reach the conditional signing of an agreement or the moment when it could be seriously discussed, they will have to leave completely. And then we will agree to sign, endorse or validate it,” the head of the Ukrainian delegation said.

As reported, another round of talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations took place in Istanbul on March 29. Afterwards, the Ukrainian delegation made a number of proposals to end the war, including the signing of an international agreement on security guarantees for Ukraine.
