Russia is committed to resolving the crisis, the Kremlin has said, after the US president stated he wanted an answer about a peace agreement this week
The ongoing peace negotiations with Ukraine are "difficult," but Russia remains committed to resolving the conflict, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Friday.
His comments follow US President Donald Trump's statement that he expects a response from Moscow on a proposed peace agreement with Kiev later this week.
Speaking to reporters, Peskov was asked whether Trump's remarks suggested any behind-the-scenes agreements between Washington and Moscow.
He acknowledged some progress in efforts to resolve the conflict but stressed that numerous challenging issues remain on the table.
"We believe that certain progress can already be stated. This progress is related to the temporary moratorium that Russia adhered to - a moratorium on not striking energy infrastructure facilities," Peskov said. He added that while Moscow has honored this moratorium, "the same cannot be said for the Ukrainian side."
