MOSCOW (Pakistan Point News / Sputnik - 21st August, 2018) The Kremlin welcomes statements by US leader Donald Trump about cooperation with Russia, but would be more pleased with specific actions, presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.

Trump said Monday he is ready to lift sanctions against Moscow if Russia engages in joint work with the United States on Syria and Ukraine.

"We hear many different statements. We certainly need to understand what kind of conditions we are talking about. We certainly welcome the statements that confirm the willingness to cooperate, but we would more welcome any concrete actions," Peskov told reporters commenting on Trump's words.

"We see absolute unwillingness of the Kiev authorities to do anything for the settlement. Therefore, we also need to somehow specify what is meant here, what is expected from Russia in terms of Ukrainian affairs and why nothing is expected from the Kiev authorities," he said.
