Russian and US diplomats met in Turkiye on Thursday to discuss issues regarding the operations of their embassies in Washington and Moscow, marking an early test of their efforts to reset relations and move towards resolving the war in Ukraine.

Last year, the Kremlin described relations as "below zero" under President Joe Biden, who supported Ukraine with aid and weapons while imposing sanctions on Russia for its role in the war.

However, President Donald Trump has reversed this policy and quickly initiated talks with Moscow since taking office last month, reaffirming his commitment to ending the war swiftly.

Russia seeks long-term Ukraine peace, rejects hasty ceasefire

Earlier this week, Russia pushed for a lasting peace agreement in Ukraine that addresses what it sees as the root causes of the war, rather than a swift US-backed ceasefire that could lead to renewed fighting, a senior Russian diplomat told RIA news agency.

In an interview published on February 24 marking three years since the start of the war in Ukraine, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov stressed the need for a durable resolution.

"We can recognize with sufficient confidence the desire of the American side to move towards a quick ceasefire," Ryabkov said, according to RIA.

However, he warned that "a ceasefire without a long-term settlement is the path to a swift resumption of fighting and a resumption of the conflict with even more serious consequences, including consequences for Russian-American relations. We do not want this."
