Russia Announces Focusing on Ukraine Talks with US

(MENAFN) On Tuesday, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov announced that Russia will continue discussions on resolving the conflict in Ukraine, but following the reported assault on the Russian president’s residence, negotiations will now be conducted mainly with the United States.

During a press briefing in Moscow, Peskov described the incident as a “terrorist act aimed at derailing the negotiation process.”

He referred to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Christmas speech, in which Zelenskyy wished death upon an unnamed figure, claiming the remark was directed at President Vladimir Putin.

"It is directed not only personally against President Putin—and here I would still like to recall Zelenskyy’s Christmas address and the words he spoke about Putin — but it is also directed against (US President Donald) Trump, aimed at undermining President Trump’s efforts to contribute to a peaceful settlement of the Ukrainian conflict," Peskov stated.

He further asserted that Kyiv’s “provocations, acts of state terrorism, are not capable of shaking this level of confidential dialogue between” Putin and Trump. According to him, "The presidents maintain a confidential nature of dialogue and continue to talk."

As for the implications, Peskov explained that diplomatically, Russia’s stance in negotiations would become more rigid, while militarily, Russian forces “know how, with what, and when to respond.”
