During their visit to Turkey, the Ukrainian delegation met with representatives from four countries to discuss positions ahead of talks with Russia.

This was reported by Andriy Yermak, head of the President's Office.

The delegation includes Defense Minister Rustem Umerov, Foreign Minister Andriy Sibiga, and Yermak himself. Previously, the Foreign Ministry announced the initiation of negotiation processes with American and Turkish delegations.

According to Yermak, they met with U.S. Special Representative Keith Kellogg, the UK Prime Minister's National Security Adviser Jonathan Powell, diplomatic adviser to the French President Emmanuel Bonne, and the German Chancellor's foreign policy and security adviser Günter Sauder.

During these discussions, they coordinated their positions ahead of the meetings between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations in Istanbul.

"Ukraine is ready for peace and an unconditional ceasefire. The Ukrainian delegation is in Istanbul to achieve our priority – establishing peace," Yermak concluded.
