As of today, there are no preparations for a meeting between Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba. But its holding is not ruled out.
This was reported by RIA Novosti.
The Russian Foreign Ministry said that preparations for the ministers' meeting in Istanbul are not yet underway. However, a face-to-face meeting is possible when "substantive agreements" are reached.
Earlier, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that Ukraine and Russia were working on a joint declaration to end the war.
We note that Ankara has an intermediary position and is ready to accept negotiations between Kiev and Moscow at all levels. The other day President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke about his interest in organizing a meeting between Volodymyr Zelensky and Vladimir Putin.
