Ukraine is prepared to declare its neutrality, give up aspirations of becoming a NATO member, and is open to compromise on the fate of the Donbas region, President Volodymyr Zelensky said ahead of a new round of peace talks slated to start Tuesday in Istanbul.

Dmytro Kuleba, Ukraine’s foreign minister, added Monday that the most ambitious goal negotiators had when going into the high-stakes meeting was an agreement on a ceasefire, even a temporary one. He then added that humanitarian relief was high on the list.
