On Tuesday, the Kremlin welcomed the determination of US President Donald Trump to focus on a peace agreement that would end the war in Ukraine after reaching the ceasefire in the Gaza Strip.. During Monday’s speech in the Israeli parliament, Trump said he wanted to reach an agreement with Iran in connection with his nuclear program, but added that he would first focus on the end of the war in Ukraine. According to Reuters report, TASR reports this.
“… we have to solve Russia first. We have to solve it. If you don’t mind, Steve, we’ll focus first on Russia,“Said Trump in a speech with reference to his special ambassador Steve Witkoff, who in the past led negotiations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday that Russia remains open to peace negotiations. “We certainly welcome such intentions and welcome the confirmation of political will to do everything possible to support the search for peace solutions,“He answered Peskov to the question about Trump’s comments.
“We already know Mr Witkoff well; it is effective, he has now shown his effectiveness in the Middle East and we hope that his talent will continue to contribute to work that is already in Ukraine in Ukraine”Peskov added.
Russia accuses Ukraine of braking peace negotiations. Kiev claims that Moscow does not mean this with the agreement and places the conditions that are equivalent to the capitulation requirement, explains Reuters. “The Russian side remains open and ready for peace dialogue and we hope that the influence of the United States and the diplomatic skills of President Trump’s envoys will help to encourage the Ukrainian party to make it more active and more willing to participate in the peace process,” Kremlin spokesman said.
