ST. PETERSBURG, June 19. /TASS/. A Russian delegation will be ready to arrive in Istanbul to continue negotiations with Ukraine after June 22, with the exact dates for the new round to be determined soon, Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF).
She also noted that attempts to justify Israel’s unprovoked aggression against Iran amount to "blatant cynicism."
TASS has compiled the key statements by the Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman.
The timing of the third round of Russia-Ukraine negotiations "will be set in the near future." The Russian delegation is ready to arrive in Istanbul "after June 22."
The safety of passengers on Russian airliners in the air was put at risk due to Israel’s attack on Iran. Among them was a Siberia Airlines airliner, which was flying from Novosibirsk to Dubai and was forced to change its route and request an emergency landing at Ashgabat International Airport on June 13.
