Peace talks with Kiev on hold – Kremlin

Russia remains committed to a diplomatic resolution to the Ukraine conflict, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said

Direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine remain possible but are currently suspended, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

Three rounds of negotiations took place this year in Istanbul, Türkiye, the last of which was conducted in July. Asked about a potential new in-person meeting or possible online communication, Peskov said, “Our negotiators have the opportunity to use those channels. But at this point one could describe the contacts as being paused.”
