Russia and Ukraine are meeting face to face on the sidelines of Antalya Diplomacy Forum that is scheduled to be held on March 11-13 in Antalya, Turkey. Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and his Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba would be in Antalya on 10 March 2022. Both side are positive to make way toward resolution of the deadlock. At least 120 people have been killed and scores injured since 24 February. UN figures on 8 March claimed 364 killed and 759 injured in Ukraine since Russia launched attack on Ukraine. UNHCR reported More than 1.7 million people have fled Ukraine to neighboring countries.
Russian President Vladimir Putin while accepting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan expressed high hopes for a peaceful solution that guarantee non-interference from the West in the internal affairs of Russian neighbourhood. Both Russia and Ukraine have high hope that allow Turkish mediations a success story. As Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov and Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba have agreed to meet at Antalya, Turkey on 10 March 2022, there are important agenda points made public so far. It starts from unconditional ceasefire to non-interference from the West in the internal affairs of Central Asia Republic.
Russia is denying that it has invaded Ukraine and dubbed deployment of troops as "special military operation". The Russian misadventure focuses assurance of continuity of Russian defence, trade, energy, visit of millions of Russian tourists every year to Ukraine. Because of the interference of other countries, things got spoiled, however, meeting in Turkey seems only hope of successful dialogue and move forward toward peace and stability. Using humanitarian corridors, twenty-three trucks of humanitarian aid has been send by Turkey to civilians in the conflict zones.
In another development Washington has backed out from NATO's proposal of involving its Fighter jets in Ukraine. Pentagon turned down proposal to station two squardons of its MiG-29 fighter at US airbase in Germany as these may be used to defend Europe in case war broke beyond Ukraine. It is being quoted that Pentagon had no option as German Foreign Minister did not agree to involve German soil for the deployment of Fighter jets to counter Russia. There was one proposal that United States should move its aircrafts for the purpose which Washington did not agree. In fact, there is complete disharmony over central decision including using NATO base in Germany to fly aircrafts and drones from German airspace to target Russian deployment in Ukraine raises.
