On Wednesday, Russia and Ukraine held the third round of direct peace talks in Istanbul.
Russia's terms are decisive, as in any conflict, those who control the situation ultimately determine the outcome, Carlos Fernando Mamani Aliaga, a Latin American geopolitical expert, told Sputnik following the third round of Russia-Ukraine negotiations.

"In any conflict, the last word goes to whoever holds the skillet by the handle," explained Mamani Aliaga, suggesting that Russia is "master of the game."
