The texts of both the Russian and Ukrainian ceasefire proposals have not officially been made public.However, Russian state-run media published what they say are key points of Moscow's position after the talks concluded. These include unchanged demands of a Ukrainian military withdrawal from its four partly occupied regions in the south-east, and the demobilisation of its soldiers.Russia also demands international recognition of Ukraine's Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson and Zaporizhzhia regions, as well as the annexed Crimea.Other conditions include a ban on Ukraine's membership in any military alliances, a limit on the size of the Ukrainian army, Russian as an official language, and the lifting of international sanctions on Russia.Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister Serhiy Kyslytsia said that Russia had rejected the unconditional ceasefire.Ukraine also handed over a list of hundreds of children Kyiv says have been forcefully taken to Russia.Ukraine's negotiators said they were expecting Russia's response to their proposals by the end of June, stressing the need to prepare for direct talks between Zelensky and Russia's Vladimir Putin.But so far there is no sign of any progress towards a meeting between the two presidents. Speaking at a separate news briefing, Russian delegation head Vladimir Medinsky confirmed all sick and heavily wounded prisoners of war, as well as those younger than 25, would be exchanged. No timeframe was given as to when this would happen.Medinsky also said that Russia would hand over the bodies of 6,000 Ukrainian soldiers to Kyiv next week. Zelensky also said later on Monday that Ukraine would return the bodies of 6,000 Russian soldiers, but did not specify when this would occur.Rejecting an unconditional ceasefire, Russia prefers to talk about "lasting peace", repeating its previous tough demands which Ukraine and its allies say are tantamount to Kyiv's de facto capitulation.Zelensky, who was attending a summit in Vilnius, Lithuania on Monday, said that "while there are no meaningful signals from Russia to end the war, it is important to strengthen our defence".He also called for more pressure through sanctions on Russia.In the first round of direct peace talks, held on 16 May, Ukraine and Russia failed to bridge their differences on how to end the war, agreeing only to swap 1,000 prisoners of war each.Zelensky and his European allies have repeatedly accused Russia of deliberately delaying any meaningful negotiations to seize more Ukrainian territory. US President Donald Trump, who has been pushing for a quick settlement, has so far delayed hitting Russia with tougher sanctions.However, Trump has indicated that he is "open" to a three-way summit with Zelensky and Putin "if it comes to that", according to White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt."He wants both of these leaders and both sides to come to the table together," she said.In a rare rebuke last month, Trump called Putin "absolutely crazy" following a massive drone and missile attacks on Ukraine. In response, the Kremlin said Trump was showing signs of "emotional overload".Ukraine's audacious drone attack sends critical message to Russia - and the WestSilent acts of resistance and fear under Russian occupation in UkraineEuropeWar in UkraineTurkeyVolodymyr ZelenskyDonald TrumpVladimir PutinUnited StatesUkraineIstanbul
