Kremlin says memorandum will be revealed only at talks in Istanbul
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that the Russian delegation will be in Istanbul on Monday morning for peace talks with Ukraine and will show its memorandum there. Source: RIA Novosti, Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency; Russian Telegram channel Vy Shushali Mayak ("You have been listening to Radio Mayak") Quote from Peskov: "Of course, nothing will be made public. It cannot be made public. Both draft memorandums, the Russian and Ukrainian ones, we hope, will be discussed at the second round of talks, for which the Russian delegation will be ready on Monday morning in Istanbul." Background: Defence Minister of Ukraine Rustem Umierov, who headed Ukraine's delegation at the talks with Russia in Istanbul, gave Russia a document that reflects the Ukrainian position and is awaiting their own memorandum in response. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov refused to comment on what conditions Russia would set out for a ceasefire in its draft memorandum, saying that this should be discussed privately. Heorhii Tykhyi, Spokesperson for Ukraine's Ministry of Foreign Affairs, said that Russia's unwillingness to officially hand over its memorandum for negotiations indicates that it contains unrealistic demands and is an attempt to stall the peace process. Foreign Minister of Ukraine Andrii Sybiha said that Ukraine is ready for the next round of talks with Russia, but it is still waiting for the promised text of the ceasefire memorandum from Moscow.

Kremlin says it's ready to provide military assistance to North Korea if necessary
Russia will provide North Korea with the same military assistance that Pyongyang has given Moscow if needed, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said. Source: Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency RIA Novosti; Russian Telegram channel Vy Shushali Mayak (You have been listening to Radio Mayak), which posted a video comment by Peskov Details: Peskov, when asked whether Russia would provide assistance to North Korea if necessary, said: "Of course – we have a treaty. And under this treaty, the parties are obliged to assist each other if needed". He added that the participation of Korean soldiers in the Kursk Oblast operation demonstrated how "effectively this treaty works". When asked about the salaries of North Korean soldiers participating in the war against Ukraine, Peskov did not answer, stating that such questions should be addressed to Russia's Ministry of Defence. Background: Previously, the North Korean leader admitted that his country had sent troops to Russia to take part in the war against Ukraine. Pyongyang has also been supplying weapons to Moscow. Following the North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, Russian leader Vladimir Putin confirmed the involvement of North Korean forces on Russia's side in the war against Ukraine and "thanked" them. Meanwhile, the US Department of State expressed "concern" over this matter and stated that North Korea's military support for Russia must cease. On 26 April, Kremlin head Vladimir Putin was informed that the last settlement in Russia's Kursk Oblast had allegedly been "liberated from the Ukrainian Armed Forces". However, the Special Operations Forces of the Ukrainian Armed Forces reported that they were continuing to carry out tasks in Russia's Kursk Oblast and had captured Russian soldiers.

Moscow waiting for signal on peace talks from Kyiv
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has claimed that Moscow remains open to peace negotiations, but it is Ukraine that must take "some action" towards this. Source: Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency RIA Novosti; Russian Telegram channel Vy Shushali Mayak (You have been listening to Radio Mayak), which posted a video comment by Peskov Details: When asked from whom Moscow is waiting for a signal to resume peace talks, Peskov said: "From Kyiv, at least. Kyiv must take some action in this regard. They have a legal ban in place on negotiations. But so far, we do not see any action." He also commented on the words of the US President Donald Trump that Russia should stop its strikes on Ukraine. Quote: "Well, such words have been used. The special military operation [this is how Russians refer to their unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine – ed.] is ongoing. US efforts to steer the process towards a peaceful course are ongoing as well." Details: Peskov stated that Russia has supposedly "repeatedly confirmed its readiness" for negotiations "without any preconditions". "Efforts are ongoing. That is all I can say on this topic," Peskov concluded. Background: On 25 April, Russian leader Vladimir Putin and US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff met for the fourth time since the beginning of the year. The Kremlin reported that the meeting "allowed for further rapprochement of Russia's and the US's positions" on a number of issues, and that they also discussed "the possibility of resuming direct talks between Russian and Ukrainian representatives". Putin confirmed during a meeting with Witkoff that Moscow is prepared to hold talks with Ukraine without preconditions. Support Ukrainska Pravda on Patreon!

Kremlin says Putin is ready to hold talks with Zelenskyy, but there are issues with Zelenskyy's legitimacy
Dmitry Peskov, the spokesman for Russian leader Vladimir Putin, has said Putin is ready to hold talks with Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, but that "the establishment of agreements should be discussed given the existing possibility of Zelenskyy's legitimacy being challenged". Source: Russian Telegram channel Vy Shushali Mayak ("You have been listening to Radio Mayak"), which posted an audio comment by Peskov Details: Peskov claimed that Putin "has repeatedly said that he would be prepared to negotiate with Zelenskyy if necessary". Quote: "Putin has repeatedly said that he would be prepared to negotiate with Zelenskyy if necessary. However, the legal establishment of the agreements is subject to serious discussion, given the reality that points to the possibility of Zelenskyy's legitimacy being challenged. Putin has repeatedly made statements to this effect also." Previously: Earlier, in an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Zelenskyy said he was ready to sit down with Putin if it was the only way to bring peace to Ukrainians. Later, the Kremlin said that despite the "issues with Zelenskyy's legitimacy", Moscow was still open to talks. On 6 February, Zelenskyy said that he was ready to hold talks with Putin when there is an understanding regarding the end of the war. Meanwhile, the president suggested that Putin was afraid to talk to him about ending the war. On 9 February, Zelenskyy said he was ready to meet and negotiate with Putin if he understood that the United States and Europe "would not abandon" Ukraine. Background: In the autumn of 2022, when Russia enshrined the annexation of four of Ukrainie's oblasts in its constitution, Ukraine banned direct talks with Putin. Ukrainian law also prohibits the holding of elections during martial law. President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that elections in Ukraine are very important, but they can only take place after the hot phase of the war is over and martial law is lifted.
