As the talks were held before Special Envoy Steve Witkoff left for Moscow on the 1st (local time), attention is focused on whether the two sides will revise the previous agreement to reflect Ukraine's interests, such as the security arrangements. 이날 협의는 스티브 위트코프 특사가 1일(현지시간) 모스크바로 떠나기 전 열렸기 때문에 양측이 안보장 방안 등 우크라이나의 이익이 반영된 종전안으로 수정 했을지 주목된다. However, negotiations in Ukraine are not easy both domestically and internationally, as Russian President Putin has strongly stated that he will reject any amendment that does not involve the transfer of the entire Donbas, and President Zelensky's right hand man,...
