Little prospects for talks between Russian and Ukrainian leaders — Dmitry Peskov

As Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told the Rossiya-1 TV channel, there are no prospects for a meeting between the Russian and Ukrainian leaders, Vladimir Putin and Vladimir Zelensky, so far, since Kyiv seeks to withdraw from the Minsk agreements.

This was reported by TASS.

"So far, no prospects for these talks are seen because of the Ukrainian leadership’s actions. It is the Kyiv authorities that do not fulfill the Minsk agreements," Peskov said.

The Kremlin spokesman added that Ukraine was working on "a draft law on the so-called transitional period, which would de facto mean Kyiv's withdrawal from the Minsk agreements."

"Therefore, the prospects are poor," Peskov concluded.
