Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reiterated that Moscow views President Trump as sincere in efforts to end the Ukraine war and that Russia will wait for new proposals from Washington even as it continues military action to achieve what it calls total victory. He argued that the United States has proposed options Moscow accepted but Kyiv rejected, and blamed Kyiv and European partners for stalling peace talks. Peskov highlighted a perceived duality in the U.S. stance—arms for Ukraine ongoing while professing a desire to end the war—saying Russia will leverage any alignment with its interests. He noted recent trilateral discussions and high-level meetings in Asia, signaling openness to hosting Trump’s envoys for talks in Moscow. Some reports also cite remarks by Lavrov and U.S. officials like Rubio as part of ongoing diplomacy, illustrating a complex and shifting negotiations landscape. Overall, Moscow portrays its position as patient yet resolute, pressing for a peaceful settlement on terms it views as acceptable to all sides while continuing military efforts if necessary.
