"We managed to reach an agreement, that’s the entire thing, and the signature of the head of the Ukrainian delegation who initialed this document testifies to this fact, which means that the Ukrainian side on the whole was satisfied with the achieved agreements. They did not come into effect only because they were ordered not to do that. The elites of the US, Europe, and several European countries desired to achieve Russia’s strategic defeat," he said.
The head of state noted that Russia has never rejected and does not reject holding negotiations but only on the basis of talks reached and documented back then in Istanbul.
A meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul was held on March 29, 2022, with talks lasting for about three hours. The future agreement included Ukraine’s obligations on a neutral non-aligned status and the rejection of stationing foreign arms, including nuclear ones, on its territory.
