“We are ready to solve this problem with political and diplomatic measures. However, we have not seen the reciprocity on the part of Kiev in this matter so far. Therefore, we will continue a special military operation,” said Pieskov.
Pieskow emphasized that Moscow does not see Kiev's readiness to take action that could lead to a resolution of the conflict by negotiations. Meanwhile, Europe, according to the Kremlin spokesman, allegedly hinders the efforts made by the US President Donald Trump to achieve peace in Ukraine.
Putin deceived Trump? The meeting with Zelanski did not take place
In August in Alaska, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with Donald Trump, which was to be a step towards further talks with the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelnski. However, such a meeting has not occurred so far.
The situation was commented on by French President Emmanuel Macron, who on Friday stated that if Putin's conversations with Zelanski did not take place until Monday, it may mean that the Russian leader misled Trump.

Russian attacks on Ukraine
The Kremlin stated on Thursday that he was still interested in continuing peace conversations, despite Russia conducting a dead, deadly attack on Kiev.
