Moscow is set for a serious dialogue in negotiations with Kyiv, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said following talks with his Ukrainian counterpart Dmitry Kuleba in Antalya, RIA Novosti reports.

“Today's conversation is that this track has no alternative,” the minister said.

According to Lavrov, the meeting held in Antalya does not replace the main contacts of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Belarus.

“We want to have a serious conversation on the Belarusian platform, not to get off with some informal papers, to agree on those things that, by common recognition, should be resolved in the context of a comprehensive settlement of the Ukrainian crisis,” the minister said.

According to Lavrov, the meeting held in Antalya does not replace the main contacts of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Belarus.

He noted that Russia presented Ukraine with specific proposals for a settlement. Lavrov said that Ukraine took the Russian project to resolve the conflict into consideration and should give an answer.

According to him, Russia has confirmed that Moscow's initiative to open daily humanitarian corridors in Ukraine remains in force.

“Today we mainly spoke on the initiative of our Turkish friends about humanitarian issues. We have explained what measures our military is taking on the ground to help alleviate the plight of civilians who have been largely held hostage. They are used by both the so-called volunteer battalions and the forces of the so-called territorial defense as human shields,” the head of the Russian diplomatic department said.

"We have confirmed that the initiative, which was put forward by the Russian side at the time, on the daily opening of humanitarian corridors remains in force," the minister added, TASS reports.
