Russia will not send representatives to the upcoming talks on Ukraine in Türkiye, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.
He noted that these contacts are being carried out without Russia’s participation and Moscow will await information on what will actually be discussed.
Peskov added that Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to conversations if Turkish and U.S. representatives consider it necessary to inform Moscow of the results of the talks.
Earlier, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he will visit Türkiye on Wednesday to discuss solutions to the Ukraine crisis.
“We are preparing to reinvigorate negotiations, and we have developed solutions that we will propose to our partners. Doing everything possible to bring the end of the war closer is Ukraine’s top priority,” he said on a social media platform on Tuesday.
According to media reports, U.S. Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff will also participate in the meeting.
