Kremlin Negotiator Warns Ukraine Faces More Territorial Losses

News summary

Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky, who leads Russia's delegation in peace talks with Ukraine, warned that if Ukraine refuses to agree to Moscow's conditions, it will face further territorial losses. Speaking after the second round of negotiations in Istanbul, Medinsky emphasized Russia's historical resilience in prolonged conflicts, citing a 21-year war with Sweden as evidence that Russia cannot be defeated in a long war. Despite these warnings, the talks yielded no significant breakthroughs other than agreements on prisoner exchanges, with Ukraine proposing a full ceasefire and a leaders’ summit, which Russia has yet to respond to. Medinsky also dismissed the impact of a recent Ukrainian drone attack on Russian bombers, suggesting it did not affect the negotiation atmosphere. Ukrainian officials reject Russia's narrative framing the war as a fratricidal conflict and view Moscow's demands as an attempt to impose a destructive agenda. U.S. officials expressed disappointment but were unsurprised by Russia's ceasefire demands, reflecting ongoing challenges in reaching a diplomatic resolution.
