Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Yuri Ushakov, a foreign policy adviser to President Vladimir Putin, will participate in talks with US officials in Saudi Arabia on Tuesday.
US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has arrived in Saudi Arabia for the discussions, which are intended to pave the way for a potential meeting later this month between US President Donald Trump and Putin.
Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has stated that Ukraine will not take part in this week’s US-Russia talks in Saudi Arabia regarding the war in Ukraine.
Al Jazeera’s Yulia Shapovalova reports from Moscow, while Charles Stratford provides updates from Kyiv.
