Kremlin: There are "many nuances"

According to Peskov, scenarios for ending the war should not be made public, and work on them should proceed quietly. The Kremlin does not intend to publicly comment on any of these scenarios.

Peskov announced that Russia continues its dialogue about the war in Ukraine with the United States but is not holding talks with European countries or Ukraine. At the same time, the Kremlin spokesman asserts that Vladimir Putin is open to discussions with all parties, including European countries and Ukraine.

Russia clearly opposes the deployment of European peacekeeping forces in Ukraine.
