Active Talks With Ukraine May Resume After Donbas Liberation, Say Experts

Russia is interested in the quickest completion of its special operation in Ukraine but only after the whole of Donbass is liberated and Moscow and Kiev will step up their talks after that, experts said on Monday.

The latest face-to-face round of Russian-Ukrainian talks was held in Istanbul on March 29. Moscow positively assessed its results as a whole, primarily because Kiev’s representatives provided for the first time written proposals on settling the situation.
