Russia to outline its position on Ukraine in detail on monday — chief negotiator
Vladimir Medinsky also noted that he has reviewed reports regarding the terms Ukraine may include in its memorandum.
Russia’s chief negotiator Vladimir Medinsky has said that Russia’s position on the Ukrainian settlement will be explained in detail on June 2, News.Az informs via TASS.
"We will tell everything in detail tomorrow," he told the Rossiya-1 television channel.
He also said that he has seen reports about Ukraine’s terms that may be included into its memorandum.
A source in the Turkish foreign ministry told TASS earlier that a new round of Russian-Ukrainian talks is expected to begin at 1:00 p.m. local time (10:00 a.m. GMT) at Ciragan Palace in Istanbul.
According to Ukraine’s Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Kiev is not "against" meeting with the Russian side, but first it wants Moscow to share its memorandum. Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov slammed this demand as counterproductive, adding that the most essential thing now is to continue the process of direct talks.
Vladimir Zelensky said earlier in the day that the Ukrainian delegation will again be led by Umerov.
The previous round of talks was held on May 16, resulting in agreements on a 1,000-for-1,000 prisoner swap and an exchange of documents on a potential ceasefire.
