The Kremlin has declared that there is no fixed deadline for peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, emphasizing that the development of a unified text for a peace and ceasefire memorandum by Moscow and Kyiv will be a complex process.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, in comments released early on Tuesday, elucidated that reaching a final peace agreement will necessitate time due to the intricate nature of the details involved. He highlighted that both parties will be required to draft and exchange documents before eventually consenting to a single, conclusive version.
“There are no deadlines and there cannot be any. It is clear that everyone wants to do this as quickly as possible, but, of course, the devil is in the details,” Peskov was quoted by the RIA state news agency as telling reporters.
“The drafts will be formulated by both the Russian and Ukrainian sides, these draft documents will be exchanged, and then — complex contacts to develop a single text,” the Kremlin spokesman stated.
This announcement follows recent diplomatic efforts, including US President Donald Trump’s calls on Monday with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, and the leaders of the European Union, France, Italy, Germany, and Finland. After his conversation with Putin, Trump indicated that Russia and Ukraine would “immediately” commence ceasefire negotiations. Putin, in turn, affirmed Russia’s readiness to “work with the Ukrainian side on a memorandum on a possible future peace accord.”
