Moscow, December 08 (QNA) - Russian Presidential Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov said on Monday that Russian President Vladimir Putin's meeting with US envoy Steve Witkoff recently saw in-depth discussions on possible ways to reach a peace settlement in Ukraine.

In a statement, Peskov stressed that resolving the Ukrainian crisis cannot be conducted through megaphone diplomacy; instead, it should be worked out quietly, adding that relevant parties recognize this.

The Russian Presidential Press Secretary pointed out that Russian-American relations could have a real opportunity to emerge from their relatively deep crisis if bilateral points of contention are removed, adding that the Kremlin expects to receive information in the coming period on the results of US-Ukrainian consultations regarding the settlement.
