Ukraine insists on ‘territorial integrity’ before Russia talks

Volodymyr Zelenskyy says Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity remains a priority despite earlier suggesting a compromise on the Donbas issue

Russian and Ukrainian negotiators are set to resume face-to-face peace talks in Turkey this week, with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy continuing to insist on the “territorial integrity” of his country despite earlier suggesting he was ready for a compromise on the eastern Donbas region, parts of which are controlled by Russian-backed separatist forces.

Qazet.az reports that the new talks are set to take place in Turkey’s largest city of Istanbul either on Monday or Tuesday.
