Russia is pushing back on a proposal that Ukrainians would put the key terms of a Russia-Ukraine peace deal to a popular vote, with Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov saying on Tuesday that a referendum would hamstring the negotiations.
Peskov made the remarks to reporters on Tuesday when asked to comment on an idea put forward by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky that any compromises in Russia-Ukraine talks should be put to a popular vote in Ukraine.
