ウクライナとロシアの交渉 2

Russia ditches key demands in Ukraine peace talks – Financial Times
The reported softening of Moscow’s negotiating position comes ahead of Russia-Ukraine talks in Turkey
Moscow has apparently dropped several key demands in the painstaking Ukraine peace talks, the Financial Times reported on Monday, citing “four people briefed on the discussions.”

According to the report, Moscow is now prepared to let Ukraine “join the European Union if it remains militarily non-aligned as part of ongoing ceasefire negotiations” and drops its NATO aspirations.

“The draft ceasefire document does not contain any discussion of three of Russia’s initial core demands – ‘denazification’, ‘demilitarization’, and legal protection for the Russian language in Ukraine,” the newspaper asserted, adding that its sources spoke “under the condition of anonymity because the matter is not yet finalized.”

The reported shift in Moscow’s position comes ahead of a new round of Russia-Ukraine talks scheduled to take place in Turkey on Tuesday. Moscow and Kiev have held three rounds of in-person talks and further contacts via video link, but the negotiations have failed to yield any tangible result apart from the two sides finding some common ground on humanitarian corridors and evacuation of civilians from combat zones.

In mid-March, the Financial Times reported an imminent breakthrough in the talks, claiming that the two sides had drafted a 15-point peace plan. The report, however, was refuted by both Moscow and Kiev, while no actual breakthrough occurred. The new claims by the newspaper have not prompted any official reaction so far.

The report appeared to directly contradict fresh statements by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov, who told Serbian media that both “denazification” and “demilitarization” remain among the main goals of Moscow.

“It’s in our interest that these negotiations yield a result. A result that will meet our principal goals,” the top diplomat stated, adding that recent events in Ukraine have clearly shown that hard-line nationalist fighters “are exploring Nazi warfare style in practice.”

“If you have seen how the Nazi Ukrainians from the Azov or Aidar battalions treat Russian prisoners of war now, I think everything becomes clear to you,” Lavrov said, referring to gruesome footage, purporting to show the torture and execution of Russian POWs by the Ukrainians that emerged over the weekend.

Moscow launched a large-scale offensive against neighboring Ukraine in late February, following a seven-year standoff over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics of Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Russia has now demanded that Ukraine officially declare itself a neutral country that will never join the US-led NATO military alliance. Kiev insists the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.

Russia has agreed to meet Kiev half-way and will allow a meeting of its leaders to be held on the same day that the final version of a peace treaty is pre-approved by the two nation’s foreign ministers, Moscow’s top negotiator said on Tuesday, after a new round of talks in Istanbul.
ロシアはキエフとの会談の途中で合意し、平和条約の最終版が両国の外相によって事前承認されたのと同じ日に首脳会談を開催することを認めると、モスクワの最高交渉担当者は火曜日イスタンブールで新たに行われた会談後に明らかにした。

Previously, Moscow had insisted that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky could only be set after the deal would be finalized.
以前、モスクワは、ロシアのプーチン大統領とウクライナのヴォロディミル・ゼレンスキーとの会談は、協定が最終化された後でなければ設定できないと主張していた。

Vladimir Medinsky described the talks in Turkey as “constructive” and said his delegation had received a clearly outlined position on what Kiev sought to achieve. The written proposal, which includes Ukraine's pledge to remain a neutral nation and that it will not try to obtain any weapons of mass destruction, including nuclear weapons, will be relayed to Putin, he said.
ウラジーミル・メジンスキーは、トルコでの会談を「建設的」であると説明し、彼の代表団は、キエフが達成しようとしていることについて明確に概説された立場を受け取ったと述べた。中立国​​であり続けるというウクライナの誓約を含み、核兵器を含む大量破壊兵器を入手しようとしないという提案書は、プーチンに伝えられると彼は述べた。

Coinciding with Medinsky’s statement to the press, the Russian defense ministry announced it was drastically reducing its military operations in some parts of Ukraine, including near the capital, Kiev. The ministry cited “the talks moving into the practical dimension,” as the reason for the change.
メディンスキー氏の記者会見と同時に、ロシア国防省は首都キエフ近郊を含むウクライナの一部地域での軍事行動を大幅に縮小することを発表した。同省は「協議が現実的な次元に移行している」ことを理由に挙げている。

David Arakhamia, Medinsky’s opposite number in the Ukrainian delegation, said Kiev had sought a security guarantee from a number of nations that would work not unlike NATO’s mutual self-defense commitment.
ウクライナ代表団でメディンスキー氏と対をなすデビッド・アラカミア氏によると、キエフはNATOの相互自衛権の約束と同様に機能する安全保障を多くの国から求めていたとのことだ。
He named the UK, China, the US, Turkey, France, Canada, Italy, Poland and Israel as possible guarantors, and claimed some of them have given their preliminary agreement to serve in that capacity.
彼は、英国、中国、米国、トルコ、フランス、カナダ、イタリア、ポーランド、イスラエルを保証人の候補として挙げ、そのうちのいくつかはその役割を果たすことに事前合意していると主張している。
The proposed security pledge will not apply to the parts of Ukraine whose status remains in dispute, Arakhamia said. These include Crimea, which Russia considers its territory, and the breakaway Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, which Russia recognized as sovereign states and whose forces are taking part in ongoing hostilities.
提案された安全保障の誓約は、地位が争われているウクライナの一部には適用されない、とアラカミアは述べた。これらには、ロシアがその領土と見なしているクリミア、およびロシアが主権国家として認識し、その軍隊が進行中の敵対行為に参加している分離したドネツクおよびルガンスク人民共和国が含まれます。
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu remarked that he hoped that the outcome of the negotiation would soon lead to a ceasefire and a sustainable political resolution of the crisis.

Last month, Russia launched a military attack on Ukraine over Kiev’s failure to implement the terms of the Minsk ceasefire agreements, and Russia’s eventual recognition of the Donbass republics in Donetsk and Lugansk. The German- and French-brokered protocols had been designed to regularize the status of those regions within the Ukrainian state.

Kiev says the Russian offensive was completely unprovoked and has denied claims it was planning to retake the two republics by force.
