"There is no step forward", Kremlin: Talks with the US on Ukraine are

Dialogue between Russia and the US on resolving the conflict in Ukraine is at a "serious pause", Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

The comments come after Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov said that the momentum generated at the Alaska summit between Presidents Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump has been exhausted.

On Thursday, Peskov reiterated Ryabkov's statement, noting that there has been no progress towards finding a peaceful solution to the conflict with Kiev.

Russian and Ukrainian delegations met several times earlier this year. During the last round in Istanbul in July, the sides agreed to set up three working groups to develop a settlement plan that addresses political, military and humanitarian issues.

However, Peskov said that "nothing is moving forward."

Peskov noted that Kiev's stance is being pushed by its European backers. He previously noted that the West continues to encourage Ukraine to reject dialogue, while maintaining a "militaristic hysteria" that is hindering peace efforts.
