Russia's "special military operation" goals can be completed after achieving its goals, or completed by achieving goals through peace negotiations, the Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters on Friday.

However, Peskov said that peace negotiations is not possible due to Ukrainian position. 

Meanwhile, the spokesperson said that Russian forces' withdrawal from Kherson would not change the status of the region, and the region's status was "defined and fixed" and that no changes were possible.

The Kremlin said on Friday that it always takes prisoner swap proposals with the United States seriously, when asked whether Russia was ready to intensify negotiations with Washington. 

"There are existing channels, they should be discreet,"  Peskov said.

U.S. President Joe Biden said on Wednesday he expected Russian President Vladimir Putin to talk more seriously about a potential prisoner swap to secure the release of U.S. basketball star Brittney Griner, who was sentenced to nine years in Russia on drugs charges.
