Peskov: Russia working on peace in Ukraine

On Monday, the information agency RBC and the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported that Russian Foreign Minister M. Peskov confirmed that Russia is working towards peace in Ukraine, but does not seek direct ceasefire. According to Peskov, the new option includes developing peaceful processes rather than participating in a specific energy truce, which Zelensky announced last Wednesday. Peskov emphasized that the Russian authorities see peaceful resolution as a way to stabilize the crisis and end hostilities.

In response to news about mediatory efforts, it was highlighted that diplomatic dialogues continue, and Russia is ready to search for options to resolve the conflict.

Reference to Vladimir Zelensky's statement attracted public attention and initiated further discussions on the issue of energy security in the conflict zone.
