Moscow, October 14 (Xinhua) – Russia is prepared for a peaceful resolution to the conflict in Ukraine, but due to the lack of alternatives, it is continuing its special military operation. This was stated by presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov on Tuesday, according to the TASS news agency.

According to the Kremlin spokesman, the Russian side remains open and ready for dialogue: “One way or another, Russia will secure its interests and achieve its goals.”

D. Peskov noted that Moscow welcomes any efforts aimed at finding paths to peace, including US initiatives. "We certainly welcome such intentions and the confirmation of political will, so that all this contributes to the search for peaceful paths," he said.

He expressed hope that US influence and the diplomatic skills of President Donald Trump's envoys will help encourage Kyiv to be more proactive and committed to the peace process. According to D. Peskov, the US president's special envoy, Steven Witkoff, has proven himself an effective negotiator, and Moscow expects his work to continue to contribute to the conflict resolution.

Commenting on the possibility of transferring American Tomahawk cruise missiles to Ukraine, the press secretary noted that conclusions should be drawn based on the results of the upcoming meeting between Donald Trump and Volodymyr Zelenskyy: "Let's wait for the statements, listen to them, and analyze them."

D. Peskov also reported that there have been no new contacts with Turkey on the Ukrainian issue yet, but emphasized that a telephone conversation between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan could be arranged quickly if the need arises. –0–
