According to online reports, according to Xinhua Agency, Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Zakharova said at a regular press conference on the 17th that the Russian delegation is willing to go to Istanbul, Turkey for a third round of negotiations with Ukraine. Zakharova said that the Russia-Uzbekistan negotiations were "shelved" because of Uzbekistan."Uzbekistan is either avoiding negotiations or is not ready yet." She said that Uzbekistan has not sent any signal that it is ready to hold a new round of negotiations with Russia. In response to U.S. President Trump's request that Russia and Uzbekistan reach an agreement within 50 days, Zakharova said that Russia has encountered an unprecedented number of sanctions and restrictions of various types, and Russia has become "commonplace" about new sanctions threats. Zakharova also said that as the Russian army advances on the battlefield, the possibility of Uzbekistan taking "terrorist measures" to retaliate against Russia is increasing.
