Kremlin spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, said on Wednesday that the U.S. can change its foreign policy’s direction towards Ukraine, but whether this will be done will be known only in January.
“The U.S. is capable of changing its foreign policy trajectory. But whether it will be done and how, if so, we will see after January.’’
It is impossible to end the Ukrainian conflict in one day, the spokesman added.
Peskov said Trump’s statements about peace after his victory in the U.S. elections may change after he assumes the Oval Office.
“Yes, this statement is quite important, but now after the victory preparing to enter the Oval Office or entering the Oval Office.
“Sometimes statements take on a different tone, and therefore we say that we carefully analyze everything, observe everything and will draw conclusions on specific words and concrete steps,” Peskov added.
Peskov concluded that the United States is fueling the Ukrainian conflict while being able to contribute to its completion.
In a different development, Peskov said Russia is closely monitoring all information flows from Washington and analysing statements, commenting on the results of the U.S. presidential election.
“This is an internal matter for the United States. We, of course, are closely monitoring all the information flows that are coming from overseas on this matter,” Peskov told reporters.
“Russia is carefully analyzing statements from the U.S., but will draw conclusions based on specific steps.
“Moscow has repeatedly confirmed its readiness for dialogue, but the United States is currently showing the opposite position.’’
