Minister of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha:
" The Istanbul meeting highlighted another stark difference between Russia and Ukraine.
Ukraine is forward-looking, focused on the full and immediate ceasefire to kickstart the real peace process.
To the contrary, Russia is completely focused on the past, rejecting the ceasefire and instead talking constantly about the 2022 Istanbul meetings, attempting to make the same absurd demands as three years ago.
This is yet another reason why pressure on Russia must be increased. Moscow must now understand the consequences of impeding the peace process".
