Russia on Friday said its offensive in Ukraine will continue as it rejected U.S. President Joe Biden's terms for talks with Russian leader Vladimir Putin.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said; "What did President Biden say in fact? He said that negotiations are possible only after Putin leaves Ukraine.
"The special military operation is continuing," Peskov said, adding Russia was "certainly" not ready to accept those conditions.
During a state visit by French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden had said on Thursday that he would be willing to speak to Putin if the Russian leader truly wants to end the fighting.
Peskov on Friday said Putin was ready for talks to ensure Russia's interests are respected but added that the US stance "complicates" any possible talks.
