Completion of the war: Umerov told whether Ukraine is talking with the Russian Federation about peace

To spread: Ukraine and Russia are negotiating exclusively on humanitarian issues, but in Kiev are convinced that the war should be finished now. Representatives of warring countries discuss the processes of release of prisoners of war. This was stated by the Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) of Ukraine Rustem Umerov in an interview with the American CNN channel.

Asked whether negotiations between Russia and Ukraine were indeed the end of the war, the NSDC Secretary replied that Kiev has supported the peaceful initiative of US President Donald Trump, and now the parties are discussing only the humanitarian part of the liberation of Ukrainian prisoners of war. In addition, during a visit to Washington, European leaders and President Vladimir Zelensky managed to agree on bilateral and tripartite meetings.

"At this stage, we are waiting for these meetings to take place," the NSDC said. The presenter Christian Amanpur said that these statements "sound quite formally and becomes clear that there are no real results. " Umerov added that Trump considers the only person to complete the war. "Russia brings it and it has no obligation to continue negotiations. I believe that the war should be finished at this stage," he summed up.
