Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that an aborted 2022 peace deal between Russia and Ukraine could serve as the foundation for new negotiations. However, there is no indication that Kyiv is prepared for talks. President Vladimir Putin previously claimed that Russia and Ukraine were close to reaching an agreement to end hostilities in April 2022, but Ukraine withdrew once Russian troops retreated from near Kyiv.

President Vladimir Putin has repeatedly said that Russia and Ukraine were on the verge of agreeing a deal to end hostilities at talks in Istanbul in April 2022, but that Ukraine backed away from it once Russian troops fell back from near Kyiv. But he is opposed to the two-day high-level conference to be hosted by Switzerland in June at Ukraine’s request that seeks to achieve peace, saying it is pointless if Russia does not take part.
The Ukrainian president said “no,” when asked whether the 2022 talks in Belarus and Turkey had the potential to stop the war. A senior Ukrainian official has acknowledged that the two sides were close to an agreement in Turkey in 2022 but said Kyiv took the proposal no further because it did not trust the Russian side to carry out any agreement.
