Peskov emphasized that the efforts of the American President, Donald Trump, to steer this process toward a peaceful course are invaluable, and Russia is grateful for them, saying: “Trump’s efforts to push the political process toward a peaceful path are invaluable, and we are grateful to him for these efforts.”
