Russia and Ukraine are coordinating dates for a new negotiation round in Istanbul, with both sides awaiting timeline proposals, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
He emphasized there are no obstacles in the process, only that both sides are finalizing timeline proposals. Regarding a memorandum outlining their peace treaty visions, Peskov said Russia has not publicly discussed its contents to avoid harming negotiations.
On the pause of U.S. arms deliveries to Kyiv, Peskov noted production challenges in missile manufacturing due to ongoing shipments to Israel and Ukraine.
He added that fewer weapons reaching Ukraine could hasten the end of Russia’s 'special military operation.'
Earlier talks in Istanbul led to humanitarian agreements and prisoner exchanges, with President Vladimir Putin saying a third round would occur after fulfilling prior deals.
