Peskov said the absence of prerequisites for peace talks on Ukraine

There are no prerequisites for peace talks on the conflict in Ukraine. This was stated by the press Secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov during a daily briefing for journalists. According to him, Russia is still open for dialogue.

Mr. Peskov added that the militarization of Ukraine continues and European states are trying to “search for more and more money for the purchase of weapons.” Asked if the Kremlin considered the rhetoric of the statement about the need for a truce against the background of active military assistance to Kiev, he said: "Certainly.".

On September 22, US President Donald Trump held talks with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The parties discussed the cessation of strikes on energy facilities. According to the statements of the Ukrainian side, Kiev is ready for such a format of truce and agrees to discuss details with Moscow.
