Ukraine is holding off on confirming its participation in peace talks with Russia until it receives a formal proposal document outlining Moscow’s positions, Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Friday.
Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said on Friday that Kyiv wants to see a written document from Russia detailing its peace proposals before it sends a delegation to planned talks in Istanbul.
Russia has announced it is preparing to dispatch negotiators to meet Ukrainian representatives on June 2. However, Ukraine has yet to confirm whether it will attend.
Speaking at a press conference in Kyiv alongside visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan, Sybiha emphasized that Ukraine is waiting for a memorandum from Moscow that would provide a basis for a "substantive and meaningful" discussion.
“In order for the next planned meeting to be substantive and meaningful, it is important to receive a document in advance so that the delegation that will attend has the authority to discuss the relevant positions,” Sybiha told reporters.
He noted that, as of now, Ukraine has not received the expected proposal document from Russian negotiators. Sybiha did not specify what steps Kyiv would take if the document does not arrive, nor did he set a deadline for its receipt.
The meeting in Istanbul, brokered with Turkish support, aims to reignite stalled diplomatic efforts to end the ongoing conflict.
