Russia says the effort to end its war with Ukraine is a drawn-out process after Presdent Donald Trump expressed frustration with both nations' leaders.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov says the work is ongoing.
He did not directly address President Donald Trump's remarks yesterday blasting Putin for questioning Ukraine leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy's credibility.
Zelenskyy says there's no letup in Russian attacks, showing Putin couldn't care less about diplomacy.
European Union foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas says Ukraine's allies must find a way to boost pressure on Moscow.
