New Round of Russia-Ukraine Talks to Be Announced Soon, Lavrov Says
09:34 28.05.2025 (Updated: 10:21 28.05.2025) The previous meeting of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations took place in Istanbul on May 16. After the talks, the Russian side expressed readiness to continue negotiations.
The new round of Russia-Ukraine talks will be announced soon, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov stated at the13th International Meeting of High Representatives for Security Issues in Moscow.
"At these talks on May 16 in Istanbul, we insisted on the abolition of all these [Ukraine's] discriminatory laws, and we will continue to do so at the next round of direct talks, which we will announce very soon," he noted.
Russia has long been ready to negotiate with Kiev, but Ukraine refused and was "kept out of the process by its masters in the current European leadership," Lavrov added.
Returning Ukraine to its neutral, non-aligned, and non-nuclear status is one of Russia's conditions for resolving the conflict, the Russian foreign minister said.
NATO building up its contingents along the border with Russia causes concerns, the top diplomat emphasized.
"We are following with concern the build-up of NATO contingents along the entire line of contact with Russia. Incidentally, it has lengthened significantly since the admission of formerly neutral Sweden and Finland to the alliance, and it is unclear why they were unhappy with their life in neutral status," he pointed out.
