These statements come amid the stagnation of settlement negotiations in Ukraine, where Putin has previously set out principles for the settlement including Istanbul understandings, Anchorage formulations and facts on the ground, while the Kremlin insists on the need to commit to a sound framework of action and not surrender to exploitative tactics.

This came in a statement made by Ryabkov to TASS in response to a request for comment on the upcoming visit that US presidential envoy Steve Witkoff and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, reportedly intend to make to Moscow and Kiev over the weekend.

Ryabkov said: “The main question is: How willing is the American administration to invest in finding a real solution to the current (Ukrainian) crisis, a solution that takes into account the facts on the ground? Not only the root causes that we are constantly discussing, but also the situation (on the battle fronts), which is constantly changing and heading for the worse for Kiev.”

The Russian Deputy Minister added: “The truth is that the developments witnessed at the Anchorage summit and the period that followed it raised many questions about the extent of the readiness of the American side, in dealing with the complex set of issues that need to be addressed, to adhere to a sound framework and not surrender to opportunistic tactics, including manipulation by opponents of the settlement. These questions remain unanswered.”

The Kremlin anticipates the message coming from Washington via Witkov and Kushner

US President Donald Trump said yesterday that there is a good opportunity to end the conflict in Ukraine, and added that Witkov and Kushner will present proposals to Russia in this regard, adding that the American proposal that they will bring to Moscow is “not new.”

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that the negotiation process regarding Ukraine is still in a state of stagnation, stressing Moscow's readiness for dialogue with all parties wishing to do so.

Earlier, Putin specified the principles on which the settlement could be based, including the understandings reached in Istanbul, the formulas discussed in Anchorage, and the facts on the ground, in addition to the proposals he presented during the meeting at the Russian Foreign Ministry in 2024.
