During the first round of negotiations, the parties discussed security guarantees, a source close to the Ukrainian delegation told Ukrainskaya Pravda.
Most of the attention was devoted to guaranteeing Ukraine and Europe as a whole; Russia's demands for security assurances for it were discussed separately.
The second issue discussed, the source said, was the post-war future - the reconstruction of Ukraine and the creation of a new security architecture "under conditions of a crisis of confidence."
The interlocutor of Ukrainska Pravda emphasized that the key position of Ukraine is that first the war must be stopped and only after that "it is possible to move on to the formation of a new security architecture in Europe, which should ensure long-term stability and prevent the recurrence of aggression."
