The U.S. and Russia will hold the next round of diplomatic talks in Istanbul on April 10, focusing solely on stabilizing embassy operations. The U.S. State Department confirmed Ukraine will “absolutely not” be on the agenda. The discussions follow earlier rounds in Riyadh and Istanbul under the Trump administration's push to reset ties with Moscow. Despite continuing geopolitical tensions, both sides are aiming to address diplomatic staffing, property restrictions, and flight operations. Russia will be represented by Ambassador Aleksandr Darchiev, while the U.S. delegation will be led by Sonata Coulter.

00:00On April 10th, US and Russian delegations will meet for a second time in Istanbul to try to make
00:27progress on further stabilizing the operations of our bilateral missions.
00:32So that is happening in Istanbul.
00:34There are no political or security issues on the agenda, and Ukraine is not, absolutely not, on the agenda.
00:41These talks are solely focused on our embassy operations, not on normalizing a bilateral relationship overall,
00:48which can only happen, as we've noted, once there is peace between Russia and Ukraine.
