Kiev trying to escape peace talks, Putin doing whatever possible - Peskov

Washington, May 10 (UNI) Russian President Vladimir Putin is doing everything possible to bring the Ukraine conflict to an end, but Kiev is doing everything to avoid peace talks, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with ABC News.

"President Putin is doing whatever is possible to solve the problem, to achieve a settlement," Peskov said. At the same time, the Kremlin spokesman pointed out that "Ukraine is trying to escape the negotiations."

"They [Ukraine] are not ready for immediate negotiations," Peskov emphasized.

Peskov said that Moscow hopes that the administration of US President Donald Trumps helps Kiev acquire "a little bit more flexibility, a little bit more political will and wisdom."
