Talks between foreign ministers of Russia and Ukraine in Turkey ended in a stalemate. Ukraine Foreign Minister Kuleba said Kyiv’s demand for a humanitarian corridor to and from Mariupol was not accepted by Russia.
Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Lavrov said the meeting could not be an alternative to the delegation-level talks held in Belarus earlier. His Ukrainian counterpart, however, has agreed to meet again with Russia if they can find a solution to end the war.
