Kremlin denies dragging out Ukraine peace process

The Kremlin on Wednesday rejected Ukrainian and European accusations that it was stalling Ukraine peace talks saying it plans to name its conditions for a ceasefire, but did not give a time frame.

“Nobody is interested in dragging out this process. Everyone is working dynamically,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters in response to a question about when a “memorandum” announced by Putin can be expected. “Separately, there will be a list of conditions for a ceasefire. This was agreed at Istanbul talks,” he said, without saying when either would be published or passed to Kyiv.
