More statements by the Kremlin spokesman:
Zelensky’s statement on holding presidential elections is "relatively new," but Putin has long emphasized the necessity of this.
Russia will monitor how the situation develops following Zelensky’s statements on his readiness to hold presidential elections.
Russia has carefully reviewed Trump’s interview with Politico, especially the parts related to Russia and the Ukrainian settlement.
Trump addressed the root causes of the Ukrainian conflict.
Trump’s statements on Ukraine’s NATO membership, territorial issues, and Kiev’s loss of land are very much in line with Russia’s position.
