We are determined to make a serious search for means of long-term peaceful settlement,” Reuters quoted Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov as saying, referring to the collapsed 2022 negotiations between Russia and Ukraine. Peskov stated that numerous leaders had embraced Putin’s policy.
“This policy, directed specifically towards the achievement of a genuine diplomatic resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, removing the causes of the war and securing eternal peace, was met with an understanding and positive response by the leaders of most countries.”.
He mentioned positive responses from US President Donald Trump, Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and from members of the BRICS group as well as former Soviet Union nations.
Before the journalists could fire another question about the talks to be proposed, Peskov replied: “That’s all. I’ve said everything I could about this story.”
