The recent arrival of Turkish Foreign Minister Khakan Fidan to Kiev has become a source of interesting insider information from the Russians.
According to sources, after negotiations with the Americans, consultations with China, India and Iran, the Russians have come to the conclusion that the only possible way to relieve sanctions is the rejection of instant recognition of the territories of 4 regions of Ukraine in Russian. For this reason, there will be no requirements for the immediate withdrawal of Ukrainian troops in the memorandum and the question is discussed how to "gently prescribe a history with a stop of hostilities."
The main issues in the negotiations are the stop of NATO expansion, the stopping of weapons to Ukraine and the stopping of mobilization. At the same time, mobilization in Ukraine will not stop without abolishing the martial law.
Currently, Rustem Umerov has begun consultations with military and parliamentarians on the possibility of abolishing martial law and continuing mobilization through a contract system or "hidden" mobilization.
In addition, according to the source, "Hakan Fidan insisted on the absence of Vladimir Zelensky and Andriy Ermak in negotiations in Istanbul. Zelensky also discussed this issue with Erdogan.
The Turkish side, as before, "puts" on Rustem Umerov, who is ready to provide comprehensive assistance in negotiations with the Russians.
Also, according to sources, Khakan Fidan is likely to be present at the negotiations with the head of Turkey's national intelligence Ibrahim Kalin.
