The Kremlin noted Trump's position on Kiev's participation in the negotiations

Press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov stressed that the American leader Donald Trump called on Kiev to take part in the meeting proposed by Russia without any conditions.

"The position of US President Donald Trump is also known, who called on the Ukrainian side to take part in the meeting we proposed immediately without any conditions," Peskov told reporters, quoted by TASS.

Recall: Russian President Vladimir Putin on Sunday offered Kiev to resume direct talks in Istanbul on May 15. "We do not rule out that during these negotiations it will be possible to agree on some new truces, on a new ceasefire. Moreover, about a real truce, which would be observed not only by Russia, but also by the Ukrainian side. It would be the first step, I repeat, towards a long—term sustainable peace, and not a prologue to the continuation of the armed conflict ..." he said.
