The Kremlin said Tuesday that it was potentially waiting for a new “future Ukrainian president” more sympathetic to Russia’s conditions to begin peace talks.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said if the current President Volodymyr Zelenskyy did not agree to talks that ended in “achieving the conditions of the Russian side,” any resolution to ongoing fighting would be “absolutely impossible.”
