Peskov pointed to the first direct dialogue on the US plan for Ukraine.

The December 2 meeting was the first direct exchange of views on the U.S. plan between Moscow and Washington. This was announced on December 3 at a briefing by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov.

"Again, as it was said yesterday, something was accepted, something was marked as unacceptable. This is a normal working process of finding a compromise," Peskov said.
