Russia will send a delegation to Istanbul for peace talks with Ukraine on Thursday, but the members will be revealed in the evening. The Kremlin confirmed the talks would proceed, and a senior Russian lawmaker suggested an all-for-all prisoner exchange might be considered.
The Kremlin confirmed on Wednesday that Russia would send a delegation to Istanbul for potential peace talks with Ukraine on Thursday. However, the details of who will represent Moscow have not yet been disclosed. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that the composition of the delegation would be announced once President Vladimir Putin provided the go-ahead.
This comes after remarks from senior Russian lawmaker Leonid Slutsky, leader of Russia’s Liberal Democratic Party, who suggested that a major topic of discussion could be an all-for-all prisoner exchange. In an interview with the SHOT Telegram channel, Slutsky stated that the delegation's full details would be revealed later in the evening on Wednesday and that the possibility of a prisoner swap could be considered during the talks.
Peskov also reiterated that the offer for direct talks between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul remained on the table, and the Russian delegation would be ready to meet with their Ukrainian counterparts if they arrived. This renewed dialogue could pave the way for progress between the two nations amid the ongoing conflict.
