Talks between the top diplomats from Moscow and Kyiv produced no breakthrough on ending the war in Ukraine following Russia’s invasion, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said.
Kuleba attended the meeting Thursday with Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov in Turkey to discuss humanitarian corridors and a cease-fire. It was the highest-level Russian-Ukrainian talks since the war began last month.
Kuleba said Lavrov agreed to continue to seek a solution to humanitarian issues caused by the war, but there are “other decision-makers” in Russia who need to be consulted before a deal is brokered.“They seek Ukraine’s surrender. This is not going to happen,” he said. In the Russian government’s first public comment on Wednesday’s strike on a maternity hospital in the besieged city of Mariupol, Lavrov didn’t deny or shy away from responsibility for the attack. He dismissed concerns about Russian military attacks on civilians as “pathetic shrieks” from its enemies.
Lavrov claimed without evidence that the site had earlier been seized by Ukrainian far-right radical fighters who were using it as a base. He also alleged all the patients and nurses were moved off the hospital before the assault, even though images in the aftermath of the blast showed wounded civilians and the city council said a child was among the three people killed.
