Putin spox 'can neither confirm nor deny' Russia-U.S. talks in Ankara

Representatives from Russia and the U.S. are holding talks in Ankara on Monday, according to the Russian news outlet Kommersant.

Russian Foreign Intelligence Service Director Sergey Naryshkin is reportedly representing the Russian side. It’s unclear who is representing the U.S.

Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said in a press briefing on Monday that he could neither confirm nor deny that the talks were being held.

The last time delegations from Russia and the U.S. met in person was on January 10 in Geneva, where they discussed security guarantees.
