The Kremlin said on Thursday that there is political will on both the Russian and U.S. sides to find a settlement and end the Ukraine war, after presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump spoke on Wednesday.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it was premature to discuss timings for an in-person meeting of the two leaders.
The two spoke by phone for more than an hour on Wednesday and Trump said Putin expressed a desire to end the nearly three-year-old conflict.
Peskov said the two sides agreed that a Ukraine settlement could be achieved by negotiation. He told reporters they needed to wait now for the first concrete results of this work.
Asked if European countries would be represented in peace talks, he said it was premature to talk about the format.
