After five weeks of war in Ukraine, a hope for a way out of the crisis did indeed seem to be emerging on the banks of the Bosphorus, in Turkey, Tuesday March 29, under the aegis of President Erdogan.
A new meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul led to discussions described by both parties as "substantial".
Among the main advances, Ukraine has agreed to be neutral if it obtains an “international agreement” to guarantee its security, of which several countries acting as guarantors would be signatories, indicated the Ukrainian negotiator.
A fundamental point for Moscow: the prospect of Ukrainian membership of NATO is one of the arguments put forward by the Kremlin to justify the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
This week, Gilles Lafitte, known as Lasserpe, looks back on this fragile negotiation process.
An independent press cartoonist, he made his debut at Le Monde Libertaire, and notably signed for L'Humanité, Fluide Glacial and Politis and La Dépêche du Midi.
He now collaborates with S!lence, Psikopat, Sud Ouest, Marianne and Les Clés de l'Actualité...
From the humorous and political press to institutional media, Lasserpe's bite is unanimously recognized.
