Peskov said there was no response from Kiev on the negotiations.

Russia has not yet received a response from Ukraine on direct negotiations in the context of conflict resolution. This was announced on May 29 by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"You know that we proposed on Monday, June 2, to meet again in Istanbul for the second round. So far, as far as I know, no response has been received," he said at a briefing.

In addition, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation called Ukraine's demands for Russia to immediately provide the memorandum unconstructive. According to him, in this case, it is necessary either to confirm readiness to continue the negotiation process, or to do the opposite.

Peskov stressed that the main thing at the moment is to continue the process of direct Russian-Ukrainian negotiations.
