Moscow expects to discuss the conditions for a cease-fire with representatives from Kyiv in Istanbul next week, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.

Russia has suggested the second batch of talks with Kyiv take place on June 2, but Ukraine officials have said they want to see the Kremlin’s proposals for any deal ahead of despatching its delegation to the Turkish city.
