The Kremlin confirmed President Vladimir Putin's readiness for peace negotiations with Ukraine, suggesting Türkiye as the venue, but declined to elaborate after Kyiv insisted on Putin’s personal participation.
The Kremlin announced on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin is genuinely committed to pursuing peace in Ukraine through direct negotiations. The talks, proposed to take place in Türkiye, are aimed at ending the ongoing conflict, but the Kremlin offered no further details following Ukraine’s demand that the Russian leader attend in person.
Speaking to reporters, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov emphasized Russia’s intention to seek a long-term resolution. “We are committed to a serious search for ways of a long-term peaceful settlement,” he said.
Putin’s initiative has received support from several international leaders, Peskov noted, including U.S. President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, along with members of the BRICS group and former Soviet republics.
However, he abruptly ended the discussion on the matter, stating, “That's all. I've said everything I could about this story.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said he was open to talks following Trump’s encouragement, but only on the condition that Putin participate directly. The two leaders have not held a meeting since December 2019.
