Peskov: Next Ukraine talks round expected in foreseeable future
The Kremlin expects talks to resume soon with the Russian delegation unchanged. Peskov also denied a Bild report claiming that Moscow demanded Finland leave NATO in Abu Dhabi.
The next round of talks on a settlement in Ukraine could take place soon. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made the statement while answering journalists’ questions on Friday.
Peskov said the talks should resume “quite quickly, in the foreseeable future,” and that this was precisely what had been discussed with the American negotiators. “And we hope that the talks will indeed resume in the foreseeable future,” he added.
The previous day, November 12, Russian President Vladimir Putin received US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner at the Kremlin. They had arrived in Moscow after trilateral talks between Russia, the United States and Ukraine in Abu Dhabi.
Delegation and location
Asked about the delegation’s composition, Peskov said there were “no grounds for changing the negotiating team.” “It is stable, at least on our side,” he said, adding that the president would decide whether to expand it if necessary. Speaking about the meeting location, the Kremlin representative thanked the United Arab Emirates, saying that “extremely favorable, comfortable conditions” had been created in Abu Dhabi.
Peskov also recalled that during the meeting with the Americans, Putin proposed conducting a humanitarian operation in Kostiantynivka, Donetsk region, which the Kremlin considers to be under the control of the Russian army, and urged the United States and European countries to persuade Kyiv to accept the initiative.
Europe and the Bild report
Regarding possible dialogue with European countries, Peskov said Moscow was open to it if Europe appointed an authorized representative and had a genuine desire to hold talks. He said there were currently no bilateral contacts with European countries. Asked about reports that Emmanuel Macron could represent Europe in the talks, he said the Kremlin did not know what the information was based on.
The spokesman also denied a report by the German newspaper Bild claiming that the Russian side had demanded in Abu Dhabi that Finland leave NATO. “I am not aware of that. No, no such demand was made. That was definitely not discussed,” Kommersant quoted Peskov as saying.
