Kiev today rejected Moscow’s terms of peace in Ukraine during the second round of talks in Constantinople, referring to unrealistic “ultimatums” that will not lead to the end of the war.

“Instead of responding to our constructive proposals in Istanbul, the Russian side presented a series of earlier ultimatums that do not lead the situation closer to real peace,” Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andriy Simbica said in a post on the Platform. Realistic and feasible this week in Istanbul, “he adds.

Due to the non -constructive approach from Russia, talks in Istanbul have turned into consultations for war exchanges, according to the head of Ukrainian diplomacy. “We welcome progress in this area, but there could be much tangible results in all areas,” if the Russians showed a constructive attitude commensurate with that of Ukraine, Simbica noted.

He called on the allies to impose new sanctions on Russia and called for a summit for evaluating the situation and making decisions.

“Russia has so far rejected any essential form of ceasefire. This is a sufficient reason to impose new sanctions on our partners on Russia, already now, “Simbicha stressed. “We have to put an end to the killings. If current meetings fail to work and promote peace, it becomes more and more clear that a leaders’ meeting is required, “he said in his post.
