However, Peskov noted that no specific plans are currently in place for talks regarding a proposed suspension of military activities targeting civilian infrastructure.
He said that President Putin had explained the complexity of this issue during a meeting with reporters on Monday.
According to the Russian leader, any discussion on this matter should take place bilaterally between Kyiv and Moscow.
Peskov emphasized that if Ukraine is truly open to negotiations, it should work to eliminate existing legal barriers preventing direct talks with Russia
