Overview

  • Ukrainian negotiators will propose a full 30-day ceasefire, exchange of all prisoners and a summit between Presidents Zelenskiy and Putin as the first steps toward lasting peace
  • The roadmap demands robust security guarantees, no restrictions on Ukraine’s military strength and rejection of any recognition of Russian sovereignty over occupied regions
  • President Zelenskiy has appointed Defense Minister Rustem Umerov to lead Ukraine’s delegation for talks set to begin June 2 at Istanbul’s Çırağan Palace
  • Moscow has not delivered the memorandum of its peace conditions despite earlier pledges, prompting Kyiv and its Western partners to question Russia’s commitment to dialogue
  • Hostilities persisted with Ukraine claiming a June 1 drone raid destroyed over 40 Russian aircraft and Russia deploying a record 472 drones and seven missiles while reporting the capture of a village in Sumy region
