Council for Ukraine in London

Europe is also categorically opposed to the prospect of international sanctions against Russia before the completion of peace negotiations. This decision may be pressured by Moscow.

Kremlin’s response to peace talks
The Kremlin has said that countries involved in peace talks about Ukraine should still shrink the distance between them and that there are “many subtle differences” that should be processed before any agreement can be reached.

This degradation is noted a few days, after President Donald Trump warned that Washington could abandon its mediating role if no progress was made to an agreement soon, and after the US presented some ideas on how the conflict could end.
“Suggestions in the media”
Unconfirmed details of these proposals have appeared in various media, but the Kremlin has said that none of them could publicly comment – defined as “false news” – and that discussions should take place in silence.
“We also continue our contacts … but of course there are many subtle differences about the settlement that must be processed, where positions must come closer and so on,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
Peskov said that he is not in touch with Europe or Ukraine on the subject. Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open in talks with all sides, but he added.
Answering a question about a possible visit to Moscow by Steve Whitkov, US President Donald Trump’s special envoy, Peskov said there was nothing specific to say about the issue for the time being, but added that the Kremlin would announce.
Answering a question whether Moscow is seeing increasing pressure from the US for an agreement on Ukraine as an ultimatum, Peskov said Moscow did not see it and noted that the Kremlin was welcoming US mediating efforts.
