The spokesperson of the foreign affairs agency of the aggressor state, Maria Zakharova, categorically rejected the premise when asked about the potential presence of representatives from these countries in Istanbul.

"How would you comment on the statements made by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Turkey H. Fidan and the US special envoy K. Kellogg regarding... plans for simultaneous visits to this city by official representatives of the US, the UK, Germany, and France?" - journalists asked.

In response, Maria Zakharova stated, "We are deeply grateful to our Turkish friends for their hospitality and for creating, as hosts of the negotiation platform, the necessary comfortable conditions for work. However, there is no talk of Turkish or any other mediation".

"As for the words of Special Envoy Keith Kellogg, Russia, as a democratic state governed by the rule of law, respects the universal human rights principle of freedom of movement. Anyone may travel wherever they wish. However, we see no connection between the movements of representatives of those four states and the bilateral Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in Istanbul", - she concluded.
