Russia is ready to resume talks with Ukraine in Istanbul, foreign ministry official says
- On Nov 12, Russia said it is ready to resume peace negotiations with Ukraine in Istanbul; no face-to-face talks have occurred since their July 23 meeting.
- The impasse stems from maximalist demands and a venue dispute as Russian leader Vladimir Putin insists on terms requiring Ukraine to cede land, which Kyiv rejects after the 40-minute July 23 meeting.
- TASS quoted Alexei Polishchuk saying Turkish officials repeatedly urged resumption of Istanbul talks, the Russian negotiating team is ready, and 'the ball is in the Ukrainian court,' while multiple rounds produced no breakthrough.
- Putin has rejected three ceasefire proposals endorsed by US President Donald Trump, complicating hopes for a deal, while Ukraine rejects Kremlin assertions it is to blame as the war nears its fourth year.
- With conflicting claims, one source says Ukraine has accepted all proposals, but Vladimir Putin rejects them and insists on maximalist terms.
