The parties have made some progress on procedural issues, but key differences remain. The most controversial issue of the negotiations remains control over the entire Donetsk region, on which the parties have not yet reached an agreed solution.<\/p>\n<p> Meanwhile, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov reiterated the Kremlin\u2019s demands for Ukraine to end the war. Analysts at the Institute for the Study of War said the messages signal <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/druha-bilorus-z-prorosiyskym-uriadom-shcho-naspravdi-kreml-vymahaie-dlia-zavershennia-viyny\/\">Moscow\u2019s desire to politically subjugate Ukraine<\/a> . The Kremlin may be trying to achieve this without full military control over Ukraine\u2019s territory, using political influence and the formation of a loyal government.<\/p>\n<p> At the same time, President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated that the main priority remains the cessation of hostilities, and expressed hope that <a href=\"https:\/\/prm.ua\/zelenskyy-spodivaietsia-na-zakinchennia-viyny-nastupnoho-roku\/\">peace will be achieved<\/a> within the next year thanks to active diplomacy and negotiations.<\/p>\n<p> Also follow <strong>\u201cPryamim\u201d<\/strong> on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Facebook<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/prm_ua\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">X<\/a> , <a href=\"https:\/\/t.me\/+rtV4dxYu2_cyNjVi\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Telegram<\/a> , and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/pryamiy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Instagram.<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In Ukraine, strategic decision-making is increasingly confined to one-person management, which limits public access to critical information.
