MOSCOW (Sputnik) - The Russian delegation reminded the Ukrainian negotiators in Istanbul of the terms of mutual agreements in 2022, Russian presidential aide and head of the Russian delegation to the talks Vladimir Medinsky said on Friday.
The presidential aide clarified that the Russian delegation "quoted and recalled" the conditions that had been agreed with Ukraine back in February 2022 in Gomel.
"It was very important to recall what we agreed on in Gomel at the end of February. And how could it all have ended if Ukraine had agreed to peace at the end of February. They did not agree, they played for time and after that, it means that the next stage of the agreements was already in Istanbul," Medinsky told Rossiya 1 broadcaster.
