Russia hopes for new round of talks with Ukraine-US

MOSCOW, Apr 08 (AFP): Russia is hoping for a new round of US-brokered trilateral talks on ending the war in Ukraine, a process stalled recently by the Middle East conflict, the Kremlin said Wednesday.

"American negotiators are currently preoccupied with Iranian affairs," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told journalists, including from AFP, at a briefing.

"We hope that in the foreseeable future they will have more time and more opportunities to meet in a trilateral format. We look forward to this," Peskov added.
