Russian President Vladimir Putin is open to talks on a possible settlement in Ukraine but the refusal of the United States to recognize Russia's "new territories" is hindering a search for any potential compromise, the Kremlin said on Friday.
The remarks came after U.S. President Joe Biden said he is "prepared to speak with" Putin if Russia's leader shows an interest in bringing the nine-month Ukraine conflict to an end.
"The president... has always been, is and remains open to negotiations in order to ensure our interests," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
"The most preferable way to achieve our interests is through peaceful, diplomatic means," Peskov said. "Putin was, is and remains open to contacts and negotiations."
