Ukraine may sign a memorandum on settling the conflict with Russia and is waiting for Moscow's proposals to present its vision, Vladimir Zelensky said following a phone talk with US President Donald Trump.
"A relevant memorandum could be signed bilaterally. It could then lead to a roadmap to end the war, to a treaty supported by both countries, involving a ceasefire," he said at a briefing broadcast by his office.
Zelensky noted that the content of the document remains unclear. "If the Russian side proposes some kind of memorandum, we, having received it or related proposals, will be able to outline our vision," he stated.
- There is no deadline for preparing a memorandum between Russia and Ukraine, the sides will exchange drafts and work out a unified text, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"There is no deadline and there can't be one. It is clear that everyone wants to do it as quickly as possible, but the devil is in the details, of course," the Kremlin spokesman said.
According to him, "both Russia and Ukraine will draft their projects." "The parties will exchange these proposals. Then, they will engage in complex contacts to work out a single text," the presidential spokesman stressed.
