Kremlin Says Russia-Ukraine Negotiations Are on ‘Pause’

Russia said negotiations with Ukraine are on “pause,” less than a month after the summit meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump that the US said would spur talks on a peace deal.

“Communication channels exist, they are established, our negotiators have the opportunity to communicate through these channels, but for now, perhaps, we can talk about a pause,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters Friday, without elaborating.
