Russia Hopes Ukraine Will Take Istanbul Talks Seriously - Foreign Ministry
Moscow expects that the Russian and Ukrainian draft memoranda will be discussed during the second round of talks in Istanbul, Peskov added.
The discussion of preparing contacts between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelensky can only begin in the event of productive negotiations at the delegation level, Kremlin spokesman stressed.
"First, a result must be achieved in direct negotiations between the two countries. After that, if such a result is achieved, and when such a result is achieved, then, of course, we can talk about contacts at the highest level [between Putin, Trump and Zelensky]," Peskov told reporters.
Putin has repeatedly said that he is fundamentally in favor of contacts at the highest level, the official added.
