Direct Ukraine | Latest news of the war, in the minute

Russia and Ukraine keep the world in suspense about whether they will finally meet tomorrow, Thursday, to open peace negotiations in Istanbul, where the last attempt to stop the war three years ago took place. The Kremlin confirmed Wednesday that he will send a delegation to Türkiye, a country in which the Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrí Sibiga is already located. Independent sources report that at this time intense consultations to several bands take place to agree on the negotiation agenda. “The Russian delegation will wait for the Ukrainian delegation in Istanbul,” said Dmitri Peskov, presidential spokesman, at his daily telephone press conference, in which he stressed that “the president’s proposal is still standing”, Vladimir Putin, to resume conversations with kyiv. As for the members of the Russian delegation, he said that “nothing has changed” and their names will be known once the “corresponding instructions by the president” are taught. “The delegation will address political matters and, I would say, that also a set of technical issues,” said Kremlin’s international advisor, Yuri Ushakov. He added that “starting from it, the members” of the delegation will be selected. Ushakov recalled that Putin proposed last Sunday “resume” direct negotiations “that were suspended by the Russian part at the request of Western colleagues and partners.”
