As negotiations between a Russia and Ukraine To end the war are in a pause phase, as no date was set for new conversations, the Russian presidency (Kremlin) was announced today.
“The communication channels exist, they are well established,” said Kremlin spokesman Dmitri Peskov, quoted by France-Presse (AFP) news agency.
“Our negotiators have the possibility of communicating through these channels, but for now we can speak more than one break”, These Peskov.
The negotiations made this year in Istanbul did not allow significant advances except an agreement on the exchange of prisoners of war.
Peskov said the Russia “keeps the willingness to continue the path of peaceful dialogue And look for ways to resolve the situation, ”according to the Spanish news agency Europa Press.

“You can’t wear pink glasses and you expect this negotiation process to lead to immediate results,” he said.
Peskov said US President Donald Trump at first also believed it was possible to quickly reach an agreement, but then realized that more time was necessary.
“But the obstacles placed by Europeans They are a fact. It’s no secret to anyone, ”Peskov said, attributing to European countries the lack of progress in negotiations, the Spanish news agency Efe said.
Moscow has accused European countries of contributing to the conflict to drag itself with the support they give to Ukraine.
Recently, 26 countries have agreed to send troops to Ukraine as part of Kiev’s safety guarantees to allies in the event of a ceasefire.
Trump, who assumed the role of mediator between Moscow and Kiev, wants at all costs to get a rapid end of the offensive large -scale Russian attack launched in 2022.
But the positions of the two parts seem, for now, irreconcilable.
Russia requires the demilitarization and surrender of Ukraine, as well as the assignment of the Ukrainian regions whose annexation claimed, though without fully controlling them.
Ukraine considers these conditions unacceptable and requires warranties of security from Western allies for fearing a new attack from Russia, even if a peace agreement was reached.
Russia invaded and attached to Crimea in 2014 and, since the 2022 invasion, declared as attached the regions of Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporijia.
Moscow and Kiev held this year three rounds Direct negotiations in Istanbul on May, June and July, in which they only agreed to exchange prisoners of war and soldiers.
As for the rest, they were limited to presenting the respective positions about what should be the formula for resolving the conflict.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has hardened his positions from mid-August summit with Trump in Alaska, after which he refused to meet with the Ukrainian counterpart, Volodymyr Zelensky.
He also refused to declare a ceasefire and the sending of western troops to Ukraine.
