Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine would like to see documents outlining Russia's proposal before sending a delegation to the Tukuye talks.
Ukraine said it hopes to see a document detailing Russia's proposed ceasefire clause before sending a delegation to Istanbul to hold bilateral talks next week, while the Kremlin said it hopes both sides will discuss the conditions of the ceasefire at the planned meeting.
Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha, speaking at a press conference in Kiev on Friday, did not confirm that Ukraine would participate in the talks proposed by Russia on June 2, saying his team needed to assure the Kremlin's sincerity about wanting to end the war.
“In order for the next planned meeting to be substantial and meaningful, it is important to receive documents in advance so that the delegations that will participate have the right to discuss the relevant positions,” he said.
He said that Ukraine has not received any such documents so far, outlining Russia's proposal.
The two sides previously met in Istanbul on May 16 and participated in the first direct negotiations in more than three years. Negotiations ended in less than two hours and failed to make a breakthrough in the ceasefire. The warring side did agree to the prisoner exchange, which happened later, and agreed to the exchange of documents outlining the possible roadmap and peace.
Ukraine was disappointed after the negotiations ended, and President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said it was a "sign of disrespect" that Russia sent a junior delegation that was not authorized to sign a ceasefire.
Ukrainian Foreign Ministry spokesman Heorhii Tykhyi said on Thursday on Thursday that Russia shared the delay in its ceasefire proposals suggests it could be "possibly full of unrealistic last-pass atums".
Speaking with visiting Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan at a press conference on Friday, Sybiha said Kief wanted to end the war.
"We hope to end this war this year and we are interested in establishing a truce, whether it's 30 days, 50 days or 100 days," he said.
"Ukraine is willing to discuss this directly with Russia. We confirmed this at the last meeting of the delegation and Russia."
Fidan suggested that a meeting between Zelenskyy, Russian President Vladimir Putin and U.S. President Donald Trump could be held in a speech next week, under the guidance of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that any such meeting can only be held if results are achieved in bilateral negotiations.
He said both sides will discuss proposals to reach an agreement in Istanbul and details will not be made public.
Peskov added that Russia is pleased that Putin's position on Ukraine's NATO joining is understood by the United States in response to comments by Trump's envoy, Keith Kellogg, that Moscow's concerns about Kiev's alliance are fair.
Kellogg told the US network ABC that he expects bilateral negotiations in Istanbul to continue.
