The Kremlin said on Wednesday that it was pleased with how talks with Washington had gone so far after the United States announced it had reached separate deals with Ukraine and Russia.
This came as Moscow confirmed it was continuing intensive contacts with the United States.
It will be recalled that the United States reached separate agreements on Tuesday with Ukraine and Russia to cease fighting in the Black Sea and pause attacks on energy targets, with Washington agreeing to push for the lifting of some sanctions against Moscow.
“We are satisfied with how pragmatically and constructively our dialogue is developing and by how it is yielding results,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
According to him, contacts between Russia and the U.S. had allowed a list of Russian and Ukrainian facilities covered by a temporary moratorium on strikes against energy targets to be agreed upon fairly quickly.
