As any potential peace summit bringing together Moscow and Kiev currently has no definitive agenda, speculating on its location is secondary, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists in comments on a Bloomberg story saying that Saudi Arabia could play host to it, TASS reports.
"There is no exact substance on this matter now. Nor is there any understanding of what agenda we might talk about. The venue is important, but that is secondary. What are the proposals that could be discussed?" Peskov noted.
"President [Vladimir] Putin and the Russian Federation are always open to dialogue, we have never rejected dialogue, but we must have an idea of its substance," he added.
When asked to specify whether Russia was open to the idea of a peace summit, the spokesman said "I wouldn’t know how to begin answering this question since we do not know what we are even talking about."
The Russian Deputy Foreign Minister also announced that Moscow will not participate in the "next peace summit", because, according to Mikhail Galuzin, only Volodymyr Zelensky's "peace resolution", which is unacceptable for the Kremlin, will be discussed at that event.
Earlier, the Deputy Head of the Office of the President of Ukraine said that after the first peace summit held in Switzerland, the second meeting is planned. According to Igor Zhovkva, Russian representatives can participate in it if the Kremlin does not present ultimatums to Kyiv.
