"The Russian side has repeatedly emphasized that we are ready to continue direct negotiations with the Ukrainian side, with the Ukrainian delegation. And our Turkish partners also consistently emphasize that the Istanbul site remains at our disposal, this door remains open for us," he said on the sidelines of the XVI Asian Conference of the Valdai International Discussion Club, organized in Istanbul in partnership with the Ankara Institute.
"If the political will is revealed on the part of Kyiv, we are ready for such negotiations at any moment," the diplomat added. Ivanov claims that the Russian side during the previous rounds of negotiations conveyed its number of proposals. "A whole series of initiatives were announced, in particular regarding the creation of three working groups online. Unfortunately, we have not yet received a positive reaction to these initiatives from the Ukrainian side," he added.
