--- Moscow made a loud statement regarding possible negotiations with Kyiv. According to Russian officials, the Kremlin proposed to the Ukrainian delegation a temporary ceasefire regime on certain sections of the front for a period of two to three days. This information was announced by the head of the Russian delegation, Russian political figure Vladimir Medinsky, during a final press conference following the negotiations in Istanbul that took place on June 2. According to him, the Russian side developed a so-called "memorandum" — a document outlining proposals for ceasefire and the resolution of the ongoing military conflict, which has lasted over a year and, according to Moscow, is a consequence of their own decisions and actions. Medinsky noted that this memorandum consists of two parts. The first is a specific proposal to cease fire in designated front-line areas, while the second involves "variability" and several possible scenarios for development, allowing flexible responses to the situation. As part of his presentation, the Russian official emphasized that Russia proposed Ukraine halt hostilities in limited sections of the front for 2-3 days. According to him, this decision was voiced during the talks in Istanbul, and the Ukrainian side was given time to study the proposal and decide on subsequent steps. Additionally, Medinsky confirmed that Moscow is ready for a large-scale exchange of prisoners of war and civilians. It is emphasized that the exchange should include severely wounded and sick individuals, as well as soldiers up to 25 years old. There are also plans to exchange around 6 thousand bodies of those killed during the fighting, which would be one of the largest agreements of this kind during the conflict. It is worth recalling that the Ukrainian side has previously provided official comments on the outcomes of recent negotiations with Russian representatives. The meeting, which lasted a little over an hour, was the second since May 16. Moreover, "European Pravda" reported on the proposals brought by the Ukrainian delegation to Istanbul, including an emphasis on aiming for a sustainable and long-term halt to hostilities, which could serve as a push for further diplomatic resolution of the conflict. Statements from Moscow caused significant resonance worldwide and in Ukraine, as any steps toward a ceasefire, especially on relatively small sections of the front, could be of great importance for the further development of the situation. Will these proposals move the armed conflict from a dead point? The answers to these questions remain uncertain; meanwhile, the international community increasingly calls for dialogue and compromise to prevent further escalation and to preserve the lives of civilians.
