“We submitted our memorandum to the Turkish side, which comprises two sections. The primary focus: how to attain genuine lasting tranquility. And the subsequent section: what measures are needed to achieve a comprehensive ceasefire.” 

“There is even a difference in the second part: to do it one way or to do it another way,” he said to reporters on Monday after the discussions in Istanbul. 

“The strategy is fairly comprehensive and developed from our end. This is the reason the Ukrainian side opted to examine it. They will examine it - they will react. We'll find out,” Medinsky stated.
