A new and third round of Ukraine, Russia peace is planned to take place later this week in Turkey, according to Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky.
In his words, the Ukraine’s leader revealed, ‘Today, I discussed with Rustem Umerov the preparations for the exchange and another meeting in Turkey with the Russian side. Umerov reported that the meeting is scheduled for Wednesday,’ Zelensky said during his address on Monday, referring to the secretary of Ukraine’s National Security and Defense Council.
TASS, the Russian state-run news agency, reported Monday that the next round of talks between Ukraine and Russia will be July 24.
As it is, the meeting is scheduled for July 24, but the delegations are expected to arrive in Istanbul on July 23.
However, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov played down expectations for the meeting, saying Russia does not expect to achieve a ‘miraculous breakthrough.’
