The process of diplomatic re-engagement between the US and Russia will continue on Thursday (27) in the Turkish city of Istanbul, where the two nuclear superpowers will engage in a ‘technical-level’ meeting.
Diplomats from the US and Russia are meeting in Istanbul to discuss the operation of their respective embassies in Moscow and Washington, according to Russia’s Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
Associated Press reported:
The US Embassy in Ankara confirmed that the American and Russian delegations will hold talks on issues hindering the operation of respective diplomatic missions.
We can call it the ‘first things first’ approach to a détente after the bilateral relations sunk to ‘cold war lows’ during the Joe Biden administration from hell.
The Kremlin has stated that the previous Riyadh meeting was meant to restore bilateral relations and dialogue between the two countries, something that can clear the way for peace talks in the future.
Reuters reported:
The two sides will first clear technical barriers to diplomatic relations and then tackle more ambitious goals.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov: Trump and Putin will meet in person ‘after thorough preparation’, but so far there are no details yet on the ‘when and where’.
In a different Reuters report, we learn that peace negotiations are not yet slated to be discussed.
