Washington calls on Moscow and Kyiv to continue direct negotiations for a complete ceasefire and peaceful settlement, said Deputy Head of the Press Service of the State Department Tommy Pigott at a regular briefing for journalists, APA reports.
"I can say that we continue to facilitate direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine with the aim of achieving a comprehensive ceasefire and, ultimately, a negotiated peaceful settlement," he said.
"We are aware that a third round of direct talks between the two sides has taken place. We support the continuing calls for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, the continuing calls by Ukraine for a complete and unconditional ceasefire, including a complete cessation of all attacks on civilians and critical infrastructure," Pigott continued.
"We welcome the news that Russia and Ukraine have agreed on a further exchange of prisoners, in particular the seriously ill and wounded," he said.
