Russian President Vladimir Putin, after a call with US President Donald Trump earlier this month, said that Moscow was ready to work with Ukraine on a memorandum about a future peace accord.

Putin said the memorandum would define the principles of a possible settlement, the timing of a possible peace agreement and details about a possible ceasefire.

Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said work was continuing on the Russian draft and that once the document was ready it would be handed over to Ukraine.
