(VOVWORLD) - Russia's talks with Ukraine have not been easy, but the main thing is that they are continuing, RIA news agency quoted Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying on Saturday.

Russia would like to continue talks in neighbouring Belarus but Kyiv opposed the idea, he said.
The venue for a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy would most likely be Turkey, according to Ukrainian negotiator David Arakhamia, adding that a time and a place for a meeting were not known. Arakhamia said Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan had called Putin and Zelenskiy on Friday "and seemed to confirm from his side that they are ready to arrange a meeting in the near future".
