The Kremlin said on Saturday that the United States was actively seeking an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, but that a lasting peace was still "a long way off" due to the complexity of the conflict and the current impasse in negotiations.
According to Moscow, the talks are practically at a standstill despite the diplomatic efforts led in recent months by the American president. Donald Trump.
For more than four years, the war between Russia and Ukraine has continued to rage, becoming the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II.

The Kremlin's statements come as a temporary three-day ceasefire, announced by Washington and accepted by Moscow and Kyiv, is due to take effect as part of Russia's May 9 Victory Day commemorations.
