MOSCOW (Sputnik) - There has been a pause in the negotiations on Ukraine, as the United States now focuses on other priorities, which is understandable, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"A pause has indeed appeared in the talks. The Americans have other priorities, and that’s understandable," Peskov told the Financial Times newspaper in an interview out on Sunday.
He added that Russia is open to a peaceful resolution regarding Ukraine.
"The dynamic on the front is positive for us. We are advancing and getting closer to achieving our goals, but as [Russian] President [Vladimir] Putin said, we are open to a diplomatic settlement," Peskov said.

A French representative visited Russia as part of the dialogue on Ukraine, but the meeting yielded no positive results, Kremlin spokesman said.
"The Europeans don’t want to help the peace process. When the representative of France came, he didn’t bring any positive signals. And so there was indeed nothing positive for him to hear," Peskov said.
The spokesman also said that "the Europeans are spending all their efforts on convincing the Ukrainians to continue the war," and called such actions a mistake.
