Details: In particular, Peskov answered "no" to a question concerning Kremlin’s expectations about possible positive changes after the Ukrainian president’s visit to the USA. 

Quote: "Arms supplies continue, the range of delivered weapons is expanding.

All this, of course, leads to the strengthening of the conflict and, in fact, does not bode well for Ukraine."
