‘Too early’ to talk about location of next round of Russia-US negotiations: Kremlin

WASHINGTON

It is “too early” to talk about where the next round of talks between Russia and the US might take place, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.

“It is too early to talk about this,” Peskov was quoted as saying by Russia’s Ria Novosti news agency.

The first high-level talks took place in Saudi Arabia’s capital Riyadh on Feb. 18, with both sides saying that the discussions primarily focused on normalizing diplomatic relations and the operations of their embassies. The Ukraine war was also discussed.

On Feb. 27, delegations from both countries met in Istanbul, Türkiye for a second round of talks. This time, Ukraine was not on the agenda.

The talks followed a phone call between US President Donald Trump and his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin on Feb. 12.
