“In order for the next planned meeting to be substantive and meaningful, it is important to receive a document in advance so that the delegation that will attend has the authority to discuss the relevant positions,” Sybiha told reporters.
He noted that, as of now, Ukraine has not received the expected proposal document from Russian negotiators. Sybiha did not specify what steps Kyiv would take if the document does not arrive, nor did he set a deadline for its receipt.
