Head of the Russian delegation of peace talks with Ukraine said on Thursday that they will go to Türkiye for negotiations with Kyiv should they receive a corresponding instruction to do so.
“If they give an order, we will go,” Vladimir Medinsky, who is also an aide to Russian President Vladimir Putin, said in a video commentary to the Telegram channel Shot in response to a question on the matter.
On Wednesday, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said in a video message that his country is ready to again host peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, and that diplomacy and dialogue should be given a chance for a “fair and lasting resolution” of the Ukraine war, which began on Feb. 24, 2022.
