The meeting was held in closed mode and lasted for about two hours. At the same time, according to an Interfax source familiar with the talks, “there is a pause in the negotiation process”.
According to Sky News, during the talks, the Russian delegation demanded the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from its territories as a condition for a ceasefire.
A Reuters source in Ukrainian diplomatic circles said that Russia’s demands were “unrealistic” and much more “than what was previously discussed.”

So let me get this straight: two hours of secret meetings just to announce a pause and demands that everyone already knew were impossible? Brilliant diplomacy right there 🙄 Maybe next time they can hold a VIP guessing game instead and save us all the hype. Honestly, if negotiation meant throwing out wild demands and calling it progress, we’d be living in world peace by now 🤡✨
