Akif Çağatay Kılıç, Foreign Affairs Adviser to the Turkish President, noted that in 2022, the negotiations were focused on limiting Ukraine's territorial losses from Russia to 3%, but today this figure is about 25%.

His statement was quoted by The Guardian.

«If in 2022 it was about 3% of Ukraine's territory, now it is about 25%. The situation is constantly changing: the terms of negotiations and territories are being revised. There is progress, but everything is changing again. The main problem is the loss of trust between the parties», said the Foreign Affairs Adviser to the President of Turkey.

What is known about the «30-day silence»?

On 11 March, a Ukrainian delegation met with US representatives in Saudi Arabia. After the meeting, the head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, said that Ukraine had expressed its readiness to accept the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days.

In turn, Volodymyr Zelenskyy confirmed that Ukraine accepts the US proposal for a temporary ceasefire for 30 days, now «if Russians agree, the silence will work».

Later, on 13 March, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that he agreed with the proposal to end hostilities in Ukraine, but that this should guarantee «long-term peace».

In his turn, US President Donald Trump said that Vladimir Putin had made a promising statement, but it was not complete.
