Russia said he was sending a delegation to Istanbul on Monday for the second round of interviews with Ukraine in the middle of a quarrel over the Kiev urgent that Moscow would outline his peace designs before any meeting.
The fighters rushed over the parameters of the negotiations after Turkey organized the first direct conversations between Russia and Ukraine since the first months of the war on May 16. Moscow did not accept an American proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire and used a meeting to repeat maximumist requirements to end its invasion, now in the fourth year.
“Both memorandum, Russian and Ukrainian, as we hope will be discussed in the second round of interviews,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Friday, TASS’s State Intelligence Service said.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andria Sybiha said Kyiv is waiting for the Moscow Memorandum, which has set its position before a subsequent meeting-the Kremlin that the Kremlin said that “unconstructed”.
Turkey said that interviews could lead to a wider meeting, including US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy in the X post said that he and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan discussed the idea-“the potential organization of a four-sided meeting at the level of Ukraine, Russia, Türkiy and the United States”.
The American envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, urged Kiev to attend a meeting in Turkey, stating that the US, Great Britain, France and Germany will also participate in the edges to narrow the differences. He also called on Moscow to deliver a memorandum.
“You have to show that you are serious,” Kellogg told us the ABC News network. The Russian reported demand for a written pledge that NATO will not expand further to the east, including Ukraine, is a “fair problem”, Kellogg said.
Trump, who expressed the frustration of Putin over the stopped efforts to end the war this week, threatened new sanctions after Moscow launched his biggest drone fire.
On Wednesday, he signaled that he would postpone new penalties to maintain a chance to agree with Putin. Asked by the reporter, if the Russian leader is interested in a peace agreement, Trump replied, “I can’t tell you that, but I’ll let you know in about two weeks.”
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan mentioned a four -way meeting during the comments earlier on Friday in Kiev.
“We think it is possible that Istanbul conversations culminated in a meeting between Trump, Putin and Zelenka,” Erdogan said, he said.
Putin is ready to participate in a high level interviews, but only if direct negotiation achieves specific results, Peskov said according to TASS.
The Russian leader election of the presidential assistant Vladimir Medinsky to lead the Russian delegation, dampening the expectations of the breakthrough.
Medinsky led Russian negotiators to bikes of interviews in Istanbul soon after the start of the 2022 invasion. This ended acrimones over Russian requirements, including the size and extent of the Ukrainian army. Kyiv denied from Putin the claim that Ukraine had accepted the requirements.
The Russian delegation for the second round of interviews in Istanbul will remain unchanged, the spokesman of the Russian Foreign Ministry Maria Zakharova said on Thursday.
This year, Zelenskiy pressed the Allied Partners for $ 30 billion to support the home production of weapons.
He also designed meetings between himself, Trump and Putin aimed at breaking blocking in peace interviews. Trump said he would join the hypothetical summit “if necessary”.
This week, Germany agreed to provide Ukraine with 5 billion euros in the promise of Chancellor Friedrich Merza to help Kievs build weapons with a long range and intervene goals in Russian territory.
Merz, who said there were “absolutely no limits” that cause deep strikes on Russian territory, promised to intensify cooperation with Kiev because the European allies are trying to push Russia to engage in interviews to end the war.
