Against this background, he also added that official Moscow continues preparations for the talks in Istanbul on May 15.
Here we need to proceed from what was said in the nightly statement by the president following the May 9 celebrations. The Russian side continues to prepare for the negotiations, which are due to take place on Thursday. For now, we are not going to comment on anything else," Peskov said.
What is important to understand is that Ukrainian leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on May 11 that he was ready for negotiations in Istanbul with Russian dictator Vladimir Putin.
