Ukrainian and Russian delegations are arriving in Istanbul for another round of peace talks on March 29, puttng NATO member Turkey in the spotlight as an intermediary in the deadly conflict grinding into its second month, the Washington Post website reports today (March 28, 2022).
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky yesterday said that Kyiv could declare its "neutrality" and end its bid to join NATO in a potential peace agreement with Moscow, but stressed that any deal must be voted on by a national referendum held without Russian troops in Ukraine.
The renewed diplomatic effort comes as fighting and shelling continues to terrorize the country, and Ukraine's Deputy Prime Minister Iryna Andriivna Vereschuk said today that humanitarian corridors would not be open due to reports of "provocations."
