Moscow: The Kremlin said on Thursday that Russia concurred with U.S. President Donald Trump's view that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, not Russia, was holding up a potential peace deal to end the Ukraine war.
Trump's assessment in an interview with Reuters contrasted to that of European allies, who have consistently argued Moscow has little interest in ending the war in Ukraine.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia would welcome White House envoy Steve Witkoff and U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner once a date for a visit had been agreed upon.
