Earlier in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there had been a serious pause in the process of dialogue between Russia and the United States on Ukraine. According to him, the Ukrainian authorities are not seeking a peaceful settlement of the conflict, as they are "encouraged by the Europeans."
