Kremlin Uncertain if US-Russia Business Deals Will Precede Ukraine Settlement
Spokesman Dmitry Peskov says resuming trade and investment ties with Washington is desirable but unclear whether such projects will emerge before a Ukraine peace deal is reached.
Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said it remains unclear whether business projects between Russia and the United States could emerge before a settlement is reached on the conflict in Ukraine, according to Russian state news agency TASS.
Peskov noted that "the logic of development suggests that trade, economic, and investment cooperation needs to be resumed as soon as possible," TASS reported, citing the spokesman's remarks.
The comments come amid ongoing discussions about the broader relationship between Moscow and Washington, which has been strained by the conflict in Ukraine and associated Western sanctions on Russia.
TASS did not provide further details in the excerpt regarding specific projects under consideration or a timeline for when economic cooperation between the two countries might resume.
Peskov's remarks suggest that while the Kremlin views the resumption of economic ties with the United States as a priority, the sequencing of any business cooperation relative to progress on a Ukraine settlement remains uncertain.
