Moscow, December 8 (Xinhua) — The Kremlin is keen to understand the results of US engagement with Ukraine following Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with US envoys Steven Witkoff and Jared Kushner, which took place in Moscow on December 2. Dmitry Peskov, the Russian president's press secretary, told reporters on Monday.

"You know that extensive work was done in Moscow during Putin's meeting with Witkoff and Kushner. And then, based on the results achieved in Moscow, Witkoff and Kushner worked with the Ukrainian negotiating delegation led by Rustem Umerov. Now it's important for us to understand the results of this work," TASS quotes Peskov as saying.

According to him, the Kremlin is counting on receiving such information. At the same time, as D. Peskov emphasized, the parties to the Ukrainian conflict settlement increasingly understand the unconstructiveness of megaphone diplomacy and that achieving results requires working in silence. "Obviously, the parties now increasingly understand that work must be done in silence. Such work cannot be conducted completely publicly. It is unconstructive. The main thing is that it does not produce results," the Russian presidential press secretary concluded.
