Ukraine Russia war: Ukraine's top negotiator told television channels that any meeting between Zelensky and Putin would "with a high probability" take place in Turkey.
Ukraine's top negotiator in peace talks with Russia said Saturday that Moscow had "verbally" agreed to key Ukrainian proposals, raising hopes that talks to end fighting are moving forward.
Negotiator David Arakhamia told Ukrainian television channels that any meeting between Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky and Russian President Vladimir Putin would "with a high probability" take place in Turkey.
"The Russian Federation has given an official answer to all positions, which is that they accept the (Ukrainian) position, except for the issue of Crimea (annexed by Russia in 2014)," Arakhamia said.
He said that while there was "no official confirmation in writing", the Russian side said so "verbally".
