Negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in the spring of 2022 in Istanbul were interrupted after the withdrawal of Russian troops from Kyiv.
The leader of the right-wing party “Get Up, France,” Nicolas Dupont-Aignan, criticized Vladimir Zelensky’s statement about Kyiv’s readiness for a trilateral meeting with Russia and the United States.
“This peace agreement would have long been signed in Istanbul in the spring of 2022: Ukraine’s neutrality, security guarantees, a joint statement on March 29, a draft agreement on April 15,” he wrote on the X social network.
