It is a long process, it requires effort, and it is not easy.”“The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear,” he said.Peskov said that the world was sometimes used for “rigid” rhetoric by US President Donald Trump, but insisted that Trump had also made it clear that he was committed to pursue a peace agreement with Russia.After negotiations in early June, next week, Kiev came after proposing a new round of peace talks.“Security Council Secretary Umrov also stated that he proposed the next meeting with the Russian side for the next week. The speed of talks should be carried forward.” The AFP quoted Ukrainian President Zalensky as saying.On Monday, Trump unveiled the support of new weapons for Ukraine and warned that the restrictions would target buyers of Russian exports until Moscow agrees to the peace deal within 50 days.The two -round conversation in Istanbul between Moscow and Kiev failed to produce any success towards a ceasefire, resulting in a large -scale prisoner swap and agreements on the repatriation of bodies of fallen soldiers.
