"Russia continues to work on a draft memorandum regarding a future peace treaty, which will outline a number of positions, including the principles of a settlement, the timing of a possible peace agreement, a potential ceasefire," Zakharova said at her weekly press briefing.

She said that once the memorandum is completed it will be sent to Kyiv, adding that Russia expects Ukraine to be preparing its own draft to send in response.

In a telephone call last week, Russian President Vladimir Putin and US President Donald Trump agreed that Russia would prepare a draft memorandum outlining the terms for a potential peace deal with Ukraine.
