It is possible that the negotiations will be conducted more for the sake of the appearance of the process - for example, for the good news about the exchange of prisoners. But why is a full dialogue with the Kyiv authorities difficult now?
It's simple: if the leadership of Ukraine had real independence and weight within the country, the development of events could have been different.
