Russia and Ukraine to Hold Third Round of Peace Talks Wednesday Night, Reports Say
Russian and Ukrainian delegates are set to meet for a third round of peace talks in Istanbul. Ukrainian and Russian media reports say the talks will begin at 7 p.m. local time. Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky will lead the delegation, sources say.
Ukraine’s state news agency Ukrinform, citing the communications department of the Turkish presidency, reported the talks would begin at 7 p.m. local time. Russian state media also confirmed the talks would take place Wednesday night but did not specify a time.
According to a source cited by RIA Novosti, the meeting is expected to be held at Çırağan Palace, a former Ottoman palace now operating as a luxury hotel. Russian news outlets did not confirm the exact time.
TASS reported that the Russian delegation flew to Istanbul from Moscow on Wednesday morning. Kremlin aide Vladimir Medinsky will lead the delegation, as he did in the previous two rounds of talks, sources said.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky had said earlier that the third round of talks would be held Wednesday. However, there had been some confusion after the Kremlin declined to confirm the date, and unnamed Russian officials told state media the meeting might take place Thursday.
