Es wird ja immer wieder bestritten, dass die
Waffenstillstandsverhandlungen in Istanbul im Frühjahr 2022 kurz vor dem
Abschluss standen. Nun bestätigt ein weiterer ukrainischer Teilnehmer,
dass ein Waffenstillstand in greifbarer Näher (sic!) war. Der Autor dieses

Wow! Ukraine Ambassador Chalyi, who participated in peace talks with Russia in Spring 2022, states that „we concluded“ „Istanbul Communique“ & „were very close in… April to finalize our war with some peaceful settlement“ & that Putin „tried everything possible to conclude agreement with Ukraine.“ He says that it was Putin’s „personal decision to accept the text of this communique.“ Such peace deal framework to end war was also confirmed by head of Ukrainian delegation, officials close to Zelensky, ex-Israeli PM, ex-German chancellor, Putin, Turkish FM, former US officials & Arestovych. First five stated that deal was blocked by US/UK.

„There the Ukrainian side pre­sented a ten-point “Istanbul Communiqué” outlining conditions for a cease-fire, perma­nent Ukrainian neutrality and international security guarantees. It also proposed clari­fying the status of Crimea within fifteen years. Remaining points of contention were to be resolved at a meeting of the two presi­dents. The text did not include the Ukrain­ian demand for Russian forces to withdraw to behind the line of contact as of 23 Feb­ruary 2022. The Istanbul Communiqué laid out Ukraine’s position and its response to the original Russian ultimatum. The document offered far-reaching concessions. Participants in the talks emphasised that the Com­muniqué had been pre-agreed by the par­ties and could have formed the basis for a negotiated settlement.“ https://swp-berlin.org/10.18449/2022C
