MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Work on the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is underway, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.
"Of course, work is underway. And it is good that it started in the form of direct contacts," Peskov told reporters.
Russia is open to the negotiation process on Ukraine, the spokesman said.
"Of course, everything will depend on the constructive position of the counterparts. Russia continues to remain open to the negotiation process," Peskov told reporters, answering a question about whether there is progress in the negotiation process, from the Kremlin's point of view.
The trilateral negotiations on Ukraine complicated and are being conducted at the level of experts, Dmitry Peskov said.
"These are very difficult negotiations that began at the expert level. As you know, an agreement has been reached to continue them. The work will continue," Peskov told reporters.
Moscow considers the fact of the beginning of a discussion of difficult topics related to the settlement in Ukraine to already be some progress, Peskov added.
Only the Russian Defense Ministry can provide information about any losses during the special military operation, Peskov said.
"It is the Ministry of Defense that is authorized to provide information about any losses during the special operation war," Peskov told reporters when asked if the Kremlin was familiar with the report by the Center for Strategic and International Studies of the United States on Russia's losses during the military operation.

The agenda of negotiations between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Syrian President Ahmed Sharaa in Moscow includes bilateral cooperation and the exchange of views on the situation in the region, Peskov said.

Putin and Sharaa have a lot to talk about on the situation in the region, the official said, adding that they will also touch upon topics related to the presence of the Russian armed forces in Syria.
"[Russia's] relations with Syria are actively developing," Pesko added.
