Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov said Türkiye has reaffirmed its readiness to host negotiations aimed at resolving the war in Ukraine.
Speaking to reporters Thursday in Kazan, the capital of Russia’s Tatarstan region, Ushakov addressed several issues on Moscow’s agenda, including the Ukraine war and recent diplomatic contacts.
Recalling that several rounds of negotiations had previously been held between Russia and Ukraine, Ushakov pointed to Russian President Vladimir Putin’s meeting with Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan a day earlier.
“Turkish authorities confirmed that they are ready to provide a platform for negotiations on resolving the Ukraine issue,” Ushakov said.
He added that recent Ukrainian drone attacks on Russia did not bring a possible meeting between Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy any closer.
