They explained in Turkey why the agreement between Russia and Ukraine failed in 2022 08/28/2024, 23:52

In 2022, despite the fact that the terms of the peace agreement were almost agreed upon in the negotiations in Istanbul, some countries did not want the conflict between Ukraine and Russia to end. On this issue, the TV channel Haberturk said the Speaker of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey, Numan Kurtulmuş.

Kurtulmuş said that during the negotiations, the delegations “were almost at the final point of reaching a just and balanced peace that both sides could accept.” The discussions almost led to the signing of an agreement, but “some countries did not want the war to end.”

According to the Speaker of the Turkish Grand National Assembly, the reason for this is that “the US is trying to unite the European continent through the war in Ukraine and at the same time wants to surprise Russia with a serious problem.”

Following the start of a special military operation in March 2022, talks were held in Istanbul between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations to outline a possible peace agreement. The head of the Russian delegation, Vladimir Medinsky, said: statedIt was noted that written proposals were received from Ukraine confirming its desire for a neutral, non-aligned and nuclear-free status, as well as for the abandonment and prohibition of the production and deployment of all types of weapons of mass destruction, including chemical and bacteriological, and the presence of foreign military bases and foreign troops in the region.

In November 2023, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, David Arakhamia, said that hostilities in Ukraine could end in the spring of 2022, but former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson dissuaded Kiev from signing any agreements with the Russian Federation.
