Russia: No Date Yet for Next Round of Talks

The Kremlin stated that no date has yet been set for the next round of peace talks on Ukraine, but the possibility of them taking place soon remains open. Trilateral talks between Russia, Ukraine and the US in Abu Dhabi last week did not lead to significant progress, however, an exchange of 314 prisoners of war took place. At the same time, the Kremlin stated that it does not see a desire from France to resume dialogue at a high level, despite recent contacts between Moscow and Paris. French President Macron had contacted Putin in July 2023, after a three-year period of abstention. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia is in favor of dialogue to address pressing problems, emphasizing that cutting off relations is counterproductive.
