Kremlin says it does not see prospect of peace talks on Ukraine for now
The Kremlin said on Tuesday that it agrees with USA about the need for lasting peace in Ukraine but do not see the prospect of negotiations at the moment.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said in an interview on Monday that the conflict in Ukraine would end “almost certainly by diplomacy” and negotiations, and that “just and lasting peace” was needed.
“That the outcome should be a just and lasting peace – one can agree with this. But in terms of prospects for some kind of negotiation, we don’t see any at the moment.” Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He added that for negotiations to take place with potential partners, Russia needs to fulfill the objectives of its “special military operation”.
