MOSCOW, July 15. /TASS/. US plans for new sanctions against Russia, Lithuanian President Gitanas Nauseda's claims about an alleged Russian attack on Baltic facilities, and Latvia’s potential Russian language ban in the media were the main topics of Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov's briefing.
TASS has compiled the key statements by the Kremlin spokesman.
On the Ukraine settlement
- The US is currently not focused on the Ukraine settlement as the situation in the Persian Gulf has once again deteriorated: "We see that the Americans are currently occupied with other matters. Unfortunately for all of us, the situation in the Persian Gulf is far from stable and, on the contrary, has once again deteriorated, which cannot but cause global concern. Therefore, the Americans are currently not focused on the Ukraine settlement."
- The Kremlin receives signals through existing channels that the US is ready to resume work on the Ukraine settlement after the Iran situation is resolved: "Judging by our ongoing communication channels, which everyone is well aware of, we continue to receive signals that the Americans remain ready to resume mediation efforts on the Ukraine settlement once they have fewer problems to deal with."
