U.S. and Russian officials will not discuss Russia’s war against Ukraine during their meeting in Istanbul on Feb. 27, a U.S. State Department spokesperson said in an email to Reuters. <\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov announced on Feb. 26 that Washington and Moscow would hold a second round of talks in Turkey<\/strong><\/a>, just over a week after delegates from the two countries met in Saudi Arabia for their first direct talks<\/strong><\/a> since the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. <\/p>\n

The meeting will not include discussions on Ukraine, a State Department spokesperson told<\/strong><\/a> Reuters. <\/p>\n

“To be clear, there are no political or security issues on the agenda. Ukraine is not \u202fon the agenda,” the spokesperson said via email. <\/p>\n

Lavrov said the meeting would focus on the reopening of embassies and diplomatic missions, one of three main objectives named at the conclusion of the Saudi Arabia<\/strong><\/a> talks. <\/p>\n

President Volodymyr Zelensky has said that Kyiv will not accept any decisions about Ukraine’s future that arise from negotiations that exclude Ukraine<\/strong><\/a>. No Ukrainians were invited to participate in the U.S.-Russia talks in Riyadh. <\/p>\n

As American officials prepare to meet with a Russian delegation for the second time this month, U.S. President Donald Trump<\/strong><\/a> has claimed that a ceasefire deal between Kyiv and Moscow is imminent. <\/p>\n

Trump said on Feb. 24 \u2014 the third anniversary of Russia’s full-scale invasion \u2014\u00a0that the war could be over<\/strong><\/a> “within weeks.” Ahead of official peace negotiations, he has already said that Ukraine “can forget about” joining NATO<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong>and that he is interested in signing a deal with Russia<\/strong><\/a> on rare earth minerals. <\/p>\n

The drastic shift in U.S. foreign policy toward Russia has alarmed Ukrainian and European leaders. Zelensky is set to meet with Trump<\/strong><\/a> on Feb. 28 to sign a critical minerals agreement and press the U.S. to provide Ukraine with security guarantees. <\/p>\n
