On the 14th local time, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Galukin stated that although the specific date for the third round of negotiations has not yet been determined,
Russia and Ukraine’s direct negotiations will continue.
It was reported that at present, Ukraine on one hand claims to have completed the exchange of prisoners of war as agreed, while simultaneously threatening new long-range strikes against Russian territory. Meanwhile, during a meeting in Kuala Lumpur between U.S. Secretary of State Pompeo and Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov, they discussed “new perspectives” on conflict mediation. On the other hand, the United States announced plans to increase its weapons supply to Ukraine, making it difficult to determine when Russia-Ukraine negotiations will resume. (CCTV Wang Bin)
