Talks to end Russia’s military offensive in Ukraine face “deep contradictions”, although a “compromise” is still possible, Mykhailo Podoliak, a negotiator and adviser to Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelensky, said on Tuesday.
“We will continue tomorrow (Wednesday). It is a complicated and extremely laborious negotiation process. There are deep contradictions. But of course a compromise is possible,” he said on Twitter.
The fourth round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine began on Monday via video conference.
Both parties have shown some optimism in recent days, but Podoliak’s latest statements show the difficulty of the negotiations.
The Russian army has managed in recent days to seize several Ukrainian cities.
Ukraine calls for an immediate ceasefire and the withdrawal of Russian troops.
Zelensky declared on Tuesday that it was time to “recognize” that Ukraine will not be able to join NATO, which Russia was demanding before starting the invasion on February 24.
