Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.
[Regnum] Ukraine has proposed that Russia hold a new round of negotiations next week, July 21–27. This was stated on July 19 by the head of the Kiev regime, Volodymyr Zelensky.

After a meeting with the former Minister of Defense, the new Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council Rustem Umerov, who also heads the Kyiv negotiating group, Zelensky noted in his Telegram channel that the dialogue on the exchange of prisoners and bodies of the dead is continuing, and the agreements reached at the previous meeting in Istanbul are being implemented.

He also stated the need to “strengthen the dynamics of negotiations” and expressed confidence in the need for a meeting at the level of the leaders of the Russian Federation and Ukraine to ensure “truly sustainable peace.”

As reported by the Regnum news agency, the press secretary of the Russian president Dmitry Peskov earlier stated that Moscow is not interested in delaying the negotiations with Kiev and would prefer to reach an agreement by political and diplomatic means. He said that the Russian Federation expects clarity regarding the timing of the third round of negotiations, but Ukraine is in no hurry to hold this round.

The first talks between Moscow and Kiev after a three-year break took place in Istanbul on May 16. The parties agreed to present their vision of a possible end to the conflict. The second round of talks took place in Istanbul on June 2. At this meeting, representatives of the Russian delegation handed over to their interlocutors a draft memorandum with the terms of a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

In its draft, Moscow proposed two ceasefire options. The first assumes the withdrawal of the Ukrainian Armed Forces from the temporarily occupied Russian territories. The second option contains clauses prohibiting the redeployment of troops, ending mobilization in the Ukrainian Armed Forces and the supply of foreign military aid to Kiev, beginning demobilization, excluding sabotage against the Russian Federation, and also withdrawing troops from new regions of Russia during the 30-day truce.
