Russia's position on the need for a long-term settlement on Ukraine was outlined to the assistant to the US President for National Security Mike Waltz. Russia hopes for understanding, said Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov on the channel "Russia-1".
"Naturally, I commented on the agreements reached on a temporary truce, stated our position that this is nothing more than a temporary respite for the Ukrainian military, nothing more," Ushakov said. — We believe that our goal is still a long-term peaceful settlement, we are striving for this, a peaceful settlement that takes into account the legitimate interests of our side, our concerns are known. It seems to me that no one needs such steps that simulate peaceful actions in this situation."
In this regard, Moscow hopes that Washington will take into account its demands.
"We have spoken at various levels, including the presidents, and they know our position," the Kremlin spokesman said. — I want to believe that the position will be taken into account in the course of further work."
As EADaily reported, special envoy of the US President Steve Witkoff arrived in Moscow today in order to convince the Russian side to sign a ceasefire agreement on Ukraine. A telephone conversation between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump is scheduled for the evening.
