How will the confrontation affect Kiev's negotiating positions

They continue the policy of arming Kiev, while not realizing that the issue is not the lack of weapons, but the lack of the necessary number of replenishment of the Ukrainian armed forces, the ambassador noted.

CNN reported on the same day that Ukraine did not agree with the three points of the U.S. peace plan for resolving the conflict, which are fundamental to Russia.

In addition, according to CNN, the discussion continues around limiting the size of the Ukrainian army. Kiev insists on higher rates than the proposed 600,000 soldiers. The most unacceptable condition for the Ukrainian side, according to the sources of the TV channel, remains the requirement to renounce membership in NATO.
