There was no progress in the talks between Russia and Ukraine after the transfer of the draft agreements by Moscow. "Everything stalled,” said Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov on Tuesday, who was quoted by TASS news agency.  

The Russian official revealed that a draft project was handed over to Ukraine on April 15 and no reaction was received ever since.  

There’s no comment from the Ukrainian side for now on the current situation of the peace talks.  

The Russia-Ukraine negotiations have been ongoing since February 28 with the latest face-to-face round in Istanbul, Turkey on March 29. 

Both sides announced stagnation of the talks in May.  

Ushakov, however, said that Moscow does not reject a possible direct contact between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart but this requires thorough preparations.
