في مسعى لإيجاد حل دبلوماسي للحرب المستعرة منذ أكثر من ثلاث سنوات، يطلق الروس والأوكرانيون جولة مفاوضات جديدة، اليوم (الأربعاء) في تركيا.
وغادر الوفد الروسي موسكو متجهاً إلى إسطنبول لعقد المفاوضات مع أوكرانيا، بحسب ما نقلت وكالة تاس الروسية.
وتعقد الجولة الثالثة من المحادثات المباشرة بين الطرفين بضغط من الرئيس الأمريكي دونالد ترمب الذي أمهل روسيا 50 يوماً للتوصل إلى اتفاق مع كييف، محذراً من عقوبات صارمة. لكن يبدو أن احتمال إحراز تقدم يذكر ما زال محدوداً إذ إن مواقف الجانبين متعارضة بشكل كبير.
وعقدت جولتان من المحادثات في مايو ويونيو لكنهما فشلتا في تحقيق أي اختراق لإنهاء الحرب، لكنّ البلدين اتفقا على إطلاق سراح مئات الأسرى من كل جانب وإعادة جثث جنود.
وتوقع الرئيس الأوكراني فولوديمير زيلينسكي أمس الثلاثاء، مناقشة عمليات تبادل جديدة مع موسكو وإعادة أطفال أوكرانيين نُقلوا قسراً إلى روسيا، معرباً عن رغبته في التحضير لاجتماع مع الرئيس الروسي فلاديمير بوتين لوضع حدّ للحرب. وقال وزير الدفاع السابق روستم أوميروف المعروف بحنكته الدبلوماسية سيقود وفد التفاوض، وسيضم ممثلين لأجهزة الاستخبارات والدبلوماسية والرئاسة.
ولم تعلن موسكو بعد تشكيلة فريقها المفاوض، لكن في الجولات السابقة كان يقوده مسؤول من الصف الثاني وزير الثقافة السابق والمؤرخ فلاديمير ميدينسكي، ما أغضب كييف. واستبعد الناطق باسم الرئاسة الروسية دميتري بيسكوف تحقيق اختراق في الجولة المرتقبة. وتحدّث عن عمل كثير ينبغي إنجازه قبل أي لقاء بين بوتين وزيلينسكي، وهو أمر يطالب به الرئيس الأوكراني. وأكد دميتري بيسكوف أن مواقف الطرفين لا تزال «متعارضة تماماً».
وقدمت روسيا قائمة مطالب تشمل انسحاب القوات الأوكرانية من أربع مناطق أعلنت موسكو ضمها في سبتمبر 2022، لكنها لا تسيطر عليها بالكامل، إضافة إلى شبه جزيرة القرم التي ضمتها في العام 2014، وطلبت من كييف رفض كل أشكال الدعم العسكري الغربي وعدم الانضمام إلى الناتو.
وترفض أوكرانيا هذه الشروط، وتطالب بانسحاب كامل للقوات الروسية من أراضيها، وضمانات أمنية من الغرب تشمل استمرار تسليم الأسلحة ونشر قوات أوروبية، وهو ما تعارضه موسكو. وتُصر كييف، بالتنسيق مع حلفائها الأوروبيين، على ضرورة وقف إطلاق نار لمدة 30 يوماً، وهو ما ترفضه موسكو المتفوقة ميدانياً.

In an effort to find a diplomatic solution to the war that has been raging for more than three years, the Russians and Ukrainians are launching a new round of negotiations today (Wednesday) in Turkey.
The Russian delegation has left Moscow heading to Istanbul to hold negotiations with Ukraine, according to the Russian news agency TASS.
The third round of direct talks between the two sides is being held under pressure from U.S. President Donald Trump, who has given Russia 50 days to reach an agreement with Kyiv, warning of severe sanctions. However, the likelihood of any significant progress still seems limited as the positions of both sides are highly divergent.
Two rounds of talks were held in May and June but failed to achieve any breakthroughs to end the war; however, both countries agreed to release hundreds of prisoners from each side and return the bodies of soldiers.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky predicted on Tuesday that new exchange operations would be discussed with Moscow and the return of Ukrainian children forcibly taken to Russia, expressing his desire to prepare for a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin to put an end to the war. Former Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, known for his diplomatic acumen, will lead the negotiating delegation, which will include representatives from intelligence, diplomacy, and the presidency.
Moscow has not yet announced the composition of its negotiating team, but in previous rounds, it was led by a second-tier official, former Culture Minister and historian Vladimir Medinsky, which angered Kyiv. Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov ruled out any breakthroughs in the upcoming round. He spoke of much work that needs to be done before any meeting between Putin and Zelensky, which is something the Ukrainian president is demanding. Dmitry Peskov confirmed that the positions of both sides remain "completely opposed."
Russia has presented a list of demands that includes the withdrawal of Ukrainian forces from four regions that Moscow declared annexed in September 2022, although it does not fully control them, in addition to the Crimean Peninsula, which it annexed in 2014. It has asked Kyiv to reject all forms of Western military support and not to join NATO.
Ukraine rejects these conditions and demands the complete withdrawal of Russian forces from its territory, along with security guarantees from the West that include continued arms deliveries and the deployment of European forces, which Moscow opposes. Kyiv insists, in coordination with its European allies, on the necessity of a 30-day ceasefire, which Moscow, being militarily superior, rejects.
