1918 Russia–Ukraine negotiations

During the period May 23 – October 4, 1918, peace negotiations between the Ukrainian State and the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic took place at a peace conference in Kiev.

For the Ukrainian side, the negotiations with the RSFSR were dictated by the need to solve the problems that arose as a result of the collapse of the Russian state and Ukraine's self-determination. Negotiations were forced upon the Russian side as obligatory in accordance with the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk of March 3, 1918 between the RSFSR and the states of the Quadruple Alliance (1915–1918). Under the terms of the Brest-Litovsk Treaty, Russia renounced territorial claims across a swathe of land on or near its borders, including Ukraine.

The negotiations resulted in the conclusion of a preliminary peace treaty on July 12, 1918.
