Kremlin says there's no immediate prospect of resuming peace talks with Ukraine
Nearly 4-1/2 years into the war, the front lines remain largely static while Russia and Ukraine strike each other's cities and key energy infrastructure and attack vessels at sea
The Kremlin said on Thursday that there is no immediate prospect of resuming peace talks with Ukraine, though it said that Russia remains open to the idea of negotiations.Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia was appreciative of Turkey's willingness to help peace efforts, but no new talks were expected for now."We are well aware of our Turkish friends' readiness to continue facilitating a shift toward a peaceful resolution of the situation surrounding Ukraine," Peskov told reporters."
We are grateful to the Turkish side for this. At the moment, however, there are no immediate prospects for resuming the negotiation process; we do not see any such signs. Nevertheless, the Russian side certainly remains open to this path."
Nearly 4-1/2 years into the war, the front lines remain largely static while Russia and Ukraine strike each other's cities and key energy infrastructure and attack vessels at sea.Three short rounds of peace talks took place in Istanbul in 2025, followed at the start of this year by two rounds in Abu Dhabi and one in Geneva with mediation by the United States.But with Washington distracted by the war with Iran, negotiations on ending the Ukraine war broke off in February.
