US officials are increasingly concerned that Moscow may use talks as a delay tactic rather than seeking genuine peace.
There is nothing in the schedule for now,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters when asked about potential phone conversations between the leaders.
Bloomberg reported that the US is waiting for Dmitriev to brief Putin on his visit before proceeding with the next steps.
When questioned about the results of Dmitriev’s negotiations, Peskov responded: “Let’s wait for his return to Moscow.”.
Rubio indicated the US would determine “in a matter of weeks” whether Russia is serious about peace.
“Congress has already started working on a bill on sanctions, and the pressure from the Capitol will already be growing.
We will send our message to Moscow, and we hope that Moscow will be ready for peace.”. »
