Ukrainian official arrives in Istanbul to resume talks with Russia
In a message posted on Telegram, Umerov confirmed that his visit’s main goal is to revive the exchange process between the two sides. "These days, I will be working in Türkiye and the Middle East to unblock the exchange process. There was an agreement, and we need to implement it," he said.
He noted that several meetings would take place in Türkiye to discuss the resumption of exchanges but did not reveal the identities of those attending.
The most recent round of direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, held in Istanbul on July 23, resulted in agreements on exchanging prisoners of war and civilians. Moscow also proposed forming three online working groups focused on political, humanitarian, and military issues.
However, Russian officials later said Kyiv had not responded to that proposal.
Besides Türkiye, the United Arab Emirates, as well as Saudi Arabia and Qatar to a lesser extent, have participated in mediating humanitarian exchanges between Moscow and Kyiv.
