Kremlin says freezing the Ukraine conflict does not suit Russia

Moscow: The Kremlin said on Wednesday that the option of freezing the Ukraine conflict did not suit Russia, although it restated that President Vladimir Putin was open to negotiations.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov declined to comment on the decision by the US embassy in Kyiv to close on Wednesday and issue a warning about a potential "significant air attack", referring the question to the defence ministry.
