Quote: "What was one of the root causes of this 'conflict' [Russia's war against Ukraine]? It was when the very foundations of guarantees for our country began to be violated."

Details: Peskov once again repeated the Russian narrative about "drawing Ukraine into NATO".

He added that security guarantees must be given both to Ukrainians and to Russians during a "settlement".

Peskov also noted that "there are currently no plans" for a conversation between Russian ruler Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump [which Trump had mentioned]. However, he said that "such a conversation can be arranged very quickly".

Quote: "Such meetings must be organised in order to formalise the result."

Background: On 27 August, Peskov said that Moscow believes that talks between Russia and the US on security guarantees for Ukraine should be held behind closed doors.
