After the Alaska meeting between Vladimir Putin and Donald Trump, Russia is ready to take certain steps towards a settlement in Ukraine.

Axar.az reports that this was stated by the Russian President's assistant, Yuri Ushakov, in an interview with Kommersant.

He added that for this, Washington should work with Europe and Kiev:

"We made certain concessions there (in Alaska - ed.). This concession, or rather, our step forward, is related to what the Americans should get from the European and Ukrainian bloc. If we achieve what we discussed, what the Americans agreed on, then we will achieve a peaceful solution."
