The Kremlin concurs with US President Donald Trump's statement that Zelensky is delaying the settlement process in Ukraine, according to spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
"You can agree with this. It is indeed the case," Peskov said, responding to a reporter's question about Trump's statement.
Russian President Vladimir Putin remains open to a settlement in Ukraine, and Moscow's position is well known to both Washington and Kiev, Kremlin Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov noted.
"President Putin and the Russian side are maintaining their openness. The Russian side's position is well known to both American negotiators and President Trump. It is well known to Kiev and to the leadership of the Kiev regime. This position is consistent," Peskov told reporters.
On Thursday, the White House told the media that Moscow is ready to strike a deal, but pointed to Zelensky as the one to blame for the delay in resolving the conflict.
