Russia is expecting to receive detailed information about the negotiations in Jeddah soon, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said
Moscow cannot yet comment on any ceasefire proposals agreed upon by the US and Ukraine during their latest talks, but is carefully studying the statements that are coming out following Tuesday's negotiations in Saudi Arabia, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said.
The talks in Jeddah, which are said to have lasted about 9.5 hours, ended with Kiev and Washington issuing a joint statement. According to the document, Ukraine is ready to agree to a 30-day ceasefire while the US is willing to resume providing intelligence and military aid to the country.
During a press briefing on Wednesday, Peskov was asked to outline Moscow's position on the proposed ceasefire and whether or not it believes it to be beneficial for Russia. The spokesman replied by urging against making any rushed statements.
He recalled that following yesterday's meeting, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Washinton's special envoy for Ukraine Mike Waltz had announced that the American side will provide "detailed information" about the essence of the conversation that took place in Jeddah. "First, we must receive this information," Peskov stressed, noting that Moscow expects to receive these details in the coming days.
Meanwhile, Moscow is "carefully studying the statements that were made as a result" of the talks and has already familiarized itself with the text of the joint statement that was adopted in Jeddah, the Kremlin spokesman said.
Following Tuesday's talks, US President Donald Trump announced that he intends to have a phone call with Russian President Vladimir Putin in the next few days to discuss the results of the discussion in Jeddah, and expressed hope that Putin would agree to the proposed ceasefire.
Peskov, however, has stated that no phone call request has come from the American side so far, and that there are currently no plans for direct talks between Trump and Putin. At the same time, he noted that such a call could be quickly organized.
Previously, Moscow had opposed the idea of a temporary truce in Ukraine and emphasized that a settlement should not serve to provide Kiev with breathing space and an opportunity to rearm itself before resuming hostilities. Russian President Vladimir Putin has insisted that a resolution of the conflict should guarantee long-term peace.
