MOSCOW - Moscow will wait for concrete actions, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Monday while commenting on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's proposal of possible talks with Russia.

Russian representatives should be present at a second peace conference on Ukraine, which is scheduled to be held in November, said Zelensky in recent.

"What exactly is behind these words? What specific plans are we discussing? What actions are being proposed in this regard?" Peskov asked, noting that it was too early to judge and necessary to wait for specific actions.

Meanwhile, the spokesman said that Washington would likely keep supporting Ukraine, and the financial burden increasingly be placed on its "European subordinates."

Western aid to Kyiv would "not contribute to the resolution of the Ukrainian conflict, but on the contrary will prolong it," said the spokesman, adding that it would not affect the outcome of Russia's special military operation in any way.
