Negotiations Between Russian and American Delegations Underway in Ankara, Media Reports

According to "Kommersant," negotiations are currently taking place between Russian and American delegations in Turkey's capital, Ankara. The Director of the Foreign Intelligence Service, Sergey Naryshkin, has traveled to Ankara on behalf of the Russian side. This meeting has not been publicly announced prior.

The source has refrained from disclosing further details about the negotiations. Dmitry Peskov, the press secretary of the Russian president, stated that he cannot confirm or deny the information regarding the negotiations in Ankara.

This past January 10, the last meeting between Russian and American delegations occurred in Geneva to discuss security guarantees. The lack of practical outcomes from the January negotiations is often viewed as a diplomatic precondition for the outbreak of hostilities in Ukraine.
