Moscow is still expecting from the Ukrainian side the terms of the new round of direct negotiations of the two countries. This was stated by the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation Dmitry Peskov.
“As the President said last week, we are waiting for the Ukrainian side to offer possible dates. As soon as the dates are agreed, and we hope that this will be done, we will immediately report this,” said Peskov.
The Kremlin also commented on the statement of US President Donald Trump regarding the sending of weapons to Kyiv.
“some final information that deliveries were completed or suspended still-there were many contradictory statements. It is obvious that deliveries continue, it is obvious that Europeans are actively involved in pumping Ukraine with weapons. These actions are rather not trying to promote peaceful settlement. In this case, the line that Europeans elected is accurately aimed at contributing to how to promote to promote to promote to help Continuation of hostilities, ”said the Kremlin representative.
“As for what deliveries and in what quantities continue to enter Ukraine from the United States – it will take time to clarify this completely. So far, there is a lot of conflicting information,” he added.
Peskov said that Moscow highly appreciates the efforts of US President Trump in the negotiation process between Russia and Ukraine.
“Of course, we highly value the efforts of the United States and President Trump and members of his team to initiate a direct negotiation process between Russia and Ukraine,” said the Kremlin representative.
“Of course, we believe that there is a very wide potential between our countries for the restart of trade and economic relations,” he said.
According to Peskov, US sanctions against Russia are “illegal” and harm entrepreneurs of both countries.
“Currently, the United States implements a number of restrictions. We believe that these sanctions are illegal, and they harm not only our entrepreneurs, but also entrepreneurs of the United States,” he said.
Russia will do everything possible to minimize the consequences of sanctions, Peskov promised.
“We have learned a lot, we have a fair experience on this path, and we will use it in every possible way,” said the Kremlin representative, commenting on the European Union plans to introduce sanctions against Russia.
At the same time, the press secretary of the President of the Russian Federation refused to comment on the theme of the suicide of the ex-head of the Ministry of Transport of Roman Starovoit.

The Kremlin representative noted that Russian President Vladimir Putin was immediately informed of the suicide of the ex-head of the Ministry of Transport.
