The Russian delegation is ready to provide the necessary clarifications on the memorandum during the second round of renewed direct talks in Istanbul on June 2, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said.
Full statement by Sergey Lavrov on the second round of negotiations between Russia and Ukraine:
As is known, with the support of the US, Saudi Arabia, and Turkey, conditions were created to resume direct Russia-Ukraine negotiations. The first round since the renewal took place on May 16 this year in Istanbul. According to the agreements reached there, a prisoner exchange was conducted on a "1000 for 1000" basis. It was also agreed in Istanbul that Moscow and Kiev would prepare documents outlining each side’s position to achieve a sustainable settlement.
The Russian side, as agreed, promptly developed the relevant memorandum, which presents our position on all aspects of reliably overcoming the root causes of the crisis. Our delegation, led by Vladimir Medinsky, is ready to present this memorandum to the Ukrainian delegation and provide the necessary explanations during the second round of renewed direct negotiations in Istanbul next Monday, June 2.
I would like to once again express gratitude to our Turkish partners for providing the hospitable Turkish venue, as confirmed yesterday during the visit of Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan to Moscow.
We expect that everyone who is sincerely, and not just in words, interested in the success of the peace process will support holding the new round of Istanbul direct Russia-Ukraine talks.
