Moscow sees no prospects for an early resumption of Russia-Ukraine talks, Peskov says

Moscow currently sees no prospects for an early resumption of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

The TASS news agency reported that Peskov said, “At present, we see no prospects for a swift resumption of the negotiating process.”

He added that Russia remains ready for negotiations.

Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, speaking at a joint press conference in Kyiv following talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Andrii Sybiha, said it would be highly appropriate to continue negotiations aimed at resolving the Russia-Ukraine conflict in the Istanbul format under Türkiye’s mediation.

For his part, Sybiha said Ukraine was ready for a ceasefire. He added that Kyiv views Türkiye as one of the main possible venues for a meeting between the presidents of Ukraine and Russia.
