Moscow is continuing work on a draft memorandum setting out the principles for a potential peace accord with Ukraine, Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs said on Tuesday.

Following a call with U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this month, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that the Kremlin was ready to work with Ukrainians on such a document.
