Negotiations between Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul will begin on Friday, Russian state news agency TASS reports, citing a source close to the negotiations process.

Additionally, Kommersant reported, without citing a source, that the talks would not take place on May 15, even though Ukraine’s delegation is reportedly scheduled to arrive in Istanbul on Thursday evening.

Dmytro Lytvyn, an adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, also said the Ukrainian delegation would arrive late on Thursday.

Neither Russia nor Ukraine has officially announced a change in the schedule for the talks, which were originally scheduled for Thursday.
