Foreign Ministry: Russia has not heard about new peace initiatives in Ukraine recently. Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia Mikhail Galuzin said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

American businessman Elon Musk also expressed confidence that a peace agreement to resolve the Ukrainian conflict should have been concluded a year ago. The Russian Foreign Ministry said that since the beginning of the Northeast Military District, about twenty states and regional associations have come up with similar initiatives.
