"Right now, however, they [the negotiations] have been suspended on the Ukrainian side. They said that they needed a stable, sustainable ceasefire. But, you see, they are either avoiding another round, or they have not yet formulated when they will or are ready to conduct it," Zakharova said at a briefing.
The Russian delegation is ready to arrive in Istanbul for the third round of negotiations with Ukraine and expects Kiev to continue the negotiation process, Zakharova added.
