Quote from Peskov: "No, we have no understanding of how this can be done. We have not had any contacts on this".
Background:
- The former US president has repeatedly claimed that he had a "plan" to restore peace in Ukraine within 24 hours if he became president again.
- In November 2023, Volodymyr Zelenskyy invited Trump to visit Ukraine. However, Trump refused, referring to a "conflict of interest" with the current US President Joe Biden's administration.
- After his success at the Iowa Republican caucuses in mid-January, Trump reiterated that he would end the war "very quickly" if he won the election.
- Meanwhile, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy once again invited Trump to Ukraine.
