The main task for the Ukrainian delegation is to provide all the real information about what is happening, about the consequences of the Russian strikes: including the consequence of this terror is the discrediting of the diplomatic process, people are losing faith in diplomacy, and Russian strikes are constantly worsening even the small opportunities for dialogue that existed.
