The Russians are delaying the process of handing over their document.
Ukrainian Defense Minister Rustem Umerov has said he has handed the head of the Russian delegation at the talks, Vladimir Medinsky, a document with the Ukrainian position on ending the war, New Voice writes.
"I handed the head of the Russian delegation our document, which reflects the Ukrainian position. They have received this document," Umerov wrote on Wednesday, May 28.
At the same time, he noted that the Russian side was delaying the process of handing over its document, which it calls a memorandum.
"After the harsh statements of President (of the United States Donald - ed.) Trump, European leaders, President (of Ukraine Vladimir - ed.) Zelensky, who proved that the world is united around achieving peace for Ukraine, the Russians finally said they had finalized their "memorandum." However, they are delaying the transfer of the document," Umerov noted.
He emphasized that Ukraine is ready for a full and unconditional ceasefire and further diplomatic work. Ukraine is also waiting for its "memorandum" from Russia.
"The Russian side has at least four more days before the flight to hand over their document to us for processing," Umerov said.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov says the Russian delegation is ready to present the "memorandum" and "give the necessary explanations" during the second round of "resumed direct talks" in Istanbul next Monday, June 2.
