Exclusive-Ukraine to set out roadmap for peace at Istanbul talks, document shows
Reuters AOL News ^ | 6/1/2025 | Tom Balmforth

Ukrainian negotiators at talks scheduled for June 2 in Istanbul will present to the Russian side a proposed roadmap for reaching a lasting peace settlement, according to a copy of the document seen by Reuters.

The proposed roadmap begins with a full ceasefire of at least 30 days, to be followed by the return of all prisoners held by each side, and of Ukrainian children taken into Russian-held territory, and then a meeting between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy and Russian leader Vladimir Putin.

Under the blueprint, Moscow and Kyiv -- with the participation of the United States and Europe -- will work to hash out the terms on which they can agree to put a complete end to their three-year-old war, the biggest conflict in Europe since World War Two.

Ukrainian officials said earlier this week that they had sent the blueprint to the Russian side in advance of the Istanbul talks.

The framework Ukrainian terms for a peace deal as set out in the document seen by Reuters are largely the same as the terms previously put forward by Kyiv.

Those include no restrictions on Ukraine's military strength after a peace deal is struck, no international recognition of Russian sovereignty over parts of Ukraine taken by Moscow's forces, and reparations for Ukraine.

The document also stated that the current location of the front line will be the starting point for negotiations about territory.

I suspect these terms will not be acceptable.

You and those pushing that are too stupid to realize that those demands guarantee Ukraine will no longer exist.

Oh goody, a ‘peace process.’ As has been said, a ‘peace process’ can only produce ‘processed peace’ (think whipped peas to get an idea - the product that comes out no longer resembles that started with).

Just another stalling tactic to try to put pressure on Trump. It won’t work because it can’t work. Well, except on neocons, media toadies, and FR hirelings.

I don’t think anyone gets it. Vlad laid out his objectives on day one, No NATO, Neutrality, return the ethnic Russian provinces, and rid Ukraine of their Neo Nazis.

Vlad is much like Trump, strong leaders who do as they say. With the EU pushing for War, they are a bigger threat to the US than Russia is.

Vlad will achieve his stated objectives, no matter what….
