At a press briefing in Moscow, commenting on media reports claiming Israel asked Russia to serve as a mediator in contacts with Hezbollah, Peskov cited President Vladimir Putin who earlier said Moscow "maintains contacts with all relevant parties."

Previously, Israel asked Russia to act as a mediator in peace negotiations with Hezbollah. Israel also requested that Russia participate in the arrangement of a ceasefire agreement in Lebanon, which is being developed with the support of US President Joe Biden's senior advisers Amos Hochstein and Brett McGurk.
