Kremlin: Russia agrees with Rubio that Ukraine conflict is in a stalemate
"The art of diplomacy precisely involves finding some way out that would allow moving onto a peaceful track," Peskov was quoted as saying.
Russian spokesman Dmitry Peskov affirmed on Thursday that Russia concurs with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio's assessment that the Ukraine conflict has reached a stalemate. According to Russian news outlets, Peskov made this statement during a gathering of ex-Soviet leaders in Turkmenistan. RIA News reported Peskov as stating that resolving the crisis is a matter for diplomats to address.
He emphasized that the essence of diplomacy lies in discovering a path towards peace. Peskov explained that diplomacy's skill is in discovering a pathway that leads to a peaceful resolution.
US diplomats Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are scheduled to meet Ukrainian representatives in Miami on Friday to discuss new strategies and possibly develop a joint proposal for ending the war. When asked if a trilateral summit involving Putin, Zelenskiy, and Trump was imminent, Peskov dismissed the idea, reaffirming Russia's stance that a resolution must be comprehensive and long-term, not temporary.
The Kremlin spokesman stated that Russia is not seeking temporary measures like a limited ceasefire. Instead, Russia advocates for a full-scale solution to the conflict that can ensure stability for many years, potentially even decades, according to the news agencies.
