"I hope it will be a productive day, it will be agreed on the ceasefire, and this very cruel war, a war that should never be, will end," the American leader wrote, adding that more than five thousand soldiers from Ukraine and the Russian Federation are dying every week. On May 16, for the first time in Istanbul for the first time in Istanbul, direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine took place.
The Russian Federation sent a delegation led by Putin's assistant Vladimir Medinsky. According to the media, the enemy in Istanbul demanded that US representatives did not negotiate with the Ukrainian side and nominated a number of unacceptable conditions in Ukraine.
Subsequently, the Minister of Defense of Ukraine Rustem Umerov, who headed the Ukrainian delegation, stated that during negotiations in Istanbul, Ukrainians and Russians discussed the possibility of a large -scale exchange of prisoners in the format "thousand per thousand". The head of Ukrainian intelligence Kirill Budanov confirmed the news, but the date of exchange is not publicly called. We will remind, the Russians at negotiations in Istanbul threatened to seize Kharkiv and Sumy regions.
