Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov on Monday commented on a plan by China to implement peace in Ukraine, welcoming it but saying that it should be closely studied.

“Any attempt to work out a plan that would help a peaceful settlement of the conflict deserves attention, and we are viewing the plan proposed by our Chinese friends with great attention,” Peskov said in a call with reporters.

“As for its details, they must be thoroughly analyzed, and the interests of various parties must be taken into account. It’s a very long and difficult process," he said.

He added that “we aren’t seeing any conditions for a peaceful settlement now,” adding that “the special military operation is continuing and we’re moving toward reaching the goals that have been set.”

Asked about the prospect of Chinese arms supplies to Russia, Peskov said such claims have been rejected by China and refused to make any further comment.
