At present, the work related to the Russia-Ukraine negotiation is still in progress. On the 17th local time, the Ukrainian side said that it will take time to reach a ceasefire agreement, and the presidents of Russia and Ukraine may hold talks after the text of the ceasefire agreement is confirmed.

Ukrainian negotiator and adviser to the Ukrainian president’s chief of staff Podoljak said on the 17th that it may take several days for Ukraine and Russia to reach a ceasefire agreement. Talks between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin may take place in the next few weeks after the text of the agreement is finalized.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Peskov said on the 17th that the contacts between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations to resolve the situation in Ukraine continued on the day. The Russian delegation led by Mezinski was ready to work around the clock with the participation of experts and relevant departments, but unfortunately the Ukrainian delegation lacked sufficient enthusiasm and maintained a leisurely negotiation style. In addition, Peskov also pointed out that Russian President Vladimir Putin currently has no plans to travel to Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Zakharova said on the 17th that the continued negotiations between the Russian and Ukrainian delegations can be used as one of the indicators of progress between the two sides. She also said that Russia’s military action against Ukraine was not aimed at undermining Ukraine’s statehood or overthrowing its president, and Russia urged Ukraine to make an appropriate decision.
