The second round of peace talks to end the Russia-Ukraine war will take place today. Prior to the talks, Ukrainian President Vladimir Selensky called for a ceasefire. The talks will take place on the Belarus-Poland border. The meeting was reconvened two days later today after initial discussions on Monday failed to yield significant results. The leaders and representatives of the two countries will take part in the discussion.
The world is looking at the second round of talks with optimism. Russia’s main demand in the Ukraine talks will be a military withdrawal. Representatives of the two countries’ peace talks took place yesterday in the context of the escalating war between Russia and Ukraine.
The first round of talks lasted five hours. Ukraine called on Russia to prepare for a ceasefire, but no ceasefire or other decisive declarations were made at the meeting. Diplomatic representatives will brief Putin and Selensky on the outcome of the peace talks. Russia’s forces continue to use violence in several Ukrainian cities, despite peace talks.
