Kremlin says too early to comment on reported US-Ukraine air ceasefire talks
Peskov said Russia needs more details as Ukrainian and U.S. officials weigh a proposal to halt aerial attacks and revive peace talks.
- Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Sunday it was premature to comment on reports that the United States and Ukraine are discussing a possible air ceasefire, dismissing them as "newspaper reports and nothing more."
- A Ukrainian source told Reuters that officials discussed an air ceasefire proposal to revive peace talks aimed at ending the 2022 conflict; Ukraine had previously approached President Vladimir Putin with ceasefire offers that were rejected.
- Peskov reiterated that the Kremlin maintains active channels of dialogue with United States negotiators, with Russian officials hoping US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner will visit Moscow when schedules allow.
- Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy spoke this week with Witkoff and Kushner about prospects for renewed talks and is scheduled to meet President Donald Trump in Washington on Tuesday.
- Efforts by the United States to broker a peace deal have largely stalled in recent months, with diplomatic attention diverted by the Iran war, though some officials believe sustained economic pressure may eventually soften Putin's stance.
