The Kremlin has spoken out against a recent meeting between the presidents of Russia and the United States to resolve the Ukrainian conflict. Vladimir Putin's spokesman Dmitry Peskov was quoted by the TASS news agency as saying that at the moment what is needed is "diligent work on the details of the problem, and not the hasty organization of a meeting between Putin and Donald Trump". The statement comes two weeks after the phone call between the presidents.
Moscow has announced that it is not backing down from its initial demands, which include, in addition to territorial claims to Ukraine, a request to reduce its armed forces.
