Public debate over the negotiations\u2019 specifics could be detrimental to a positive outcome, spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Public discussion of the details of Ukraine peace negotiations could harm the process, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday when asked what compromises Russia might be prepared to offer.<\/p>\n

Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told NBC News last week that Moscow is ready to \u201cshow some flexibility\u201d<\/em> on Ukraine after the recent Alaska summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump. US Vice President J.D. Vance later told the same program that Trump\u2019s \u201cenergetic diplomacy\u201d<\/em> had convinced Moscow to offer \u201csignificant concessions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Peskov reiterated that the Putin-Trump talks marked a diplomatic breakthrough but stressed that Moscow intends to keep details of the negotiations confidential.<\/p>\n

\u201dTalking about the specifics publicly and outside of the broader context of the conflict would hardly be beneficial for our common goal. We believe such work should be done privately, if we are to produce results,\u201d<\/em> he said.<\/p>\n

Lavrov was repeatedly pressed on NBC\u2019s Meet the Press about whether Putin would commit to direct talks with Ukraine\u2019s Vladimir Zelensky. The foreign minister reminded the host that Putin had not ruled out such a meeting, but insisted it would need to be meaningful.<\/p>\n

\u201dYes, he [Putin] is ready to meet, but no, we cannot meet just for him [Zelensky] to have a picture and to say that, \u2018now I am legitimate\u2019,\u201d<\/em> Lavrov said.<\/p>\n

Russia\u2019s top diplomat was referring to the expiration of Zelensky\u2019s presidential mandate last year. Moscow has raised questions about the legality of any international agreements he might sign.<\/p>\n

Peskov reinforced Lavrov\u2019s remarks, saying any top-level contacts between Russia and Ukraine \u201cneed to be properly prepared to be resultful.\u201d<\/em> He added that Russia \u201cremains committed to resolving the Ukraine conflict, preferably through peaceful political-diplomatic means.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
