Russia Striving for Lasting Peace, Not Mere Ceasefire - Kremlin
09:08 GMT 10.12.2025 (Updated: 09:57 GMT 10.12.2025) Russia is focusing efforts towards peace, not a ceasefire with Ukraine, said Putin's press secretary, Dmitry Peskov.
"We are working on peace, not on a ceasefire," the Kremlin spokesman told journalists.
"A sustainable, guaranteed, and lasting peace, accomplished by signing the relevant agreements, is an absolute priority," Peskov emphasized.
The Kremlin has closely reviewed part of the
interview with US President Donald Trump that addressed Russia and Ukraine, Peskov noted.
On Tuesday, Trump stated in an interview with an American newspaper that Russia has a stronger negotiating position than Ukraine.
"Naturally, we have reviewed - carefully reviewed - that segment of the interview concerning us (Russia) and the topic of Ukrainian regulation," the press secretary stated, when answering reporters' question on the topic.
Trump's comments on the root causes of the conflict in Ukraine are extremely vital as far as any potential for a peaceful settlement is concerned, Peskov noted.
"This is a very important interview, a very important statement... In many ways, President Trump addressed the root causes of this conflict, particularly as they relate to NATO. This is really crucial in terms of the prospects for reaching a peaceful resolution," he told journalists.
During the interview, Trump stated that it was time for Ukraine to hold a presidential election so that its people could exercise their democratic right. Concurrently, Zelensky responded that while Ukraine could technically prepare for elections, holding the vote would require the US and European states to "ensure security."
"This is something that President Putin has been saying for a long time, and it's something that President Trump recently mentioned, so we'll have to wait and see how things will unfold from here," Peskov told journalists.
Moscow has not yet had the opportunity to discuss Zelensky's remarks on the said presidential election in Ukraine with Washington, he added.
Peskov described Trump’s most recent interview as important, particularly the US president's statements on resolving the conflict in Ukraine.
