Amid tensions between Washington and Moscow following the cancellation of the Hungary summit, a senior Kremlin aide said on Sunday that the outcomes of the Alaska summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump had been communicated to Kiev, and that Moscow continues to maintain contacts with Washington on the Ukraine issue.

Kremlin foreign policy aide Yuri Ushakov told state-run TASS that Russia is actively engaging with the US to seek a peaceful settlement of the Ukraine crisis based on the understandings reached during the Alaska summit in Anchorage on August 15. While no deal to end the conflict was reached at the summit, Ushakov said the framework remains a key reference point.

“We are actively discussing a Ukrainian settlement based on the understandings reached in Anchorage. We believe this is a truly good path to achieving a peaceful settlement,” Ushakov said during an interview with State TV in Moscow.
