At the talks in Turkey, the Russian side voiced unacceptable demands for Ukraine, but given the experience of negotiations with the Russians since 2014, Ukrainian representatives know how to deal with this.

Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhiy Tykhyi said this during a media interview in Istanbul, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

“The Russian delegation voiced a number of things that are unacceptable to us. As you know, we have a long experience of negotiations with the Russians since 2014, and the Ukrainian delegation knows how to behave in these situations, how to cope with all the things we can hear from the Russian side. Our basic position has remained unchanged,” Tykhyi said.
