Sergiy Kyslytsya is among those trying to negotiate an end to the conflict, which is entering its fifth year.
Sergiy Kyslytsya, Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, emphasized that the Ukrainian negotiating team has never discussed exchanging peace for impunity, maintaining a firm stance against such proposals.
Ukraine has indicated plans for a new round of U.S.-mediated peace talks with Russia on February 26–27, though the Kremlin has yet to confirm the timeline.
