“There are indeed contacts between individual departments,” says spokesperson for Vladimir Putin.
Discussions between Moscow and Washington are ongoing and have started to ramp up, Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Wednesday.
« There are indeed contacts between individual departments, and they have intensified recently. But I can’t tell you any other details, there is nothing else to say, » Peskov told reporters, according to Russian state-owned media.
Peskov was responding to a question about U.S. President Donald Trump’s statement that Washington is conducting active negotiations on the war in Ukraine with both Kyiv and Moscow.
Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine has been raging since February 2022, and Trump — who returned to the White House last month — has vowed he’ll bring hostilities to a quick end.
“We are having discussions … already talking, yes, » Trump told reporters Sunday, without providing further details on who from his administration has been in contact with Moscow.
When asked whether he had personally spoken to Putin, Trump said: “I don’t want to say that.”
“We are having very serious discussions about that war. We’re trying to get it ended,” he added.
