Russia Says It Remains in Contact With US on Ukraine Settlement

MOSCOW, March 25 (Reuters) – Russia ⁠remains ⁠in contact ⁠with the United States on a ​possible settlement of the conflict in ‌Ukraine and hopes Washington ‌will continue its mediation ⁠efforts, ⁠Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Wednesday.

“Moscow continues ​to maintain contact with the Americans through existing channels. We are receiving updates ​on the situation. We welcome the continued ⁠efforts ⁠by the American ⁠side ​to create the necessary conditions for reaching a ​settlement in ⁠the Ukrainian issue,” Peskov said, adding that Russia remains open for dialogue.
