Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday that Moscow expects BRICS member-states that partook in the Jeddah summit over the weekend to discuss the Ukrainian conflict to provide details of their consultations. 

"We expect that, in accordance with the agreements, they [BRICS countries] will share their assessments with us and reaffirm our position on the so-called peace formula of [Ukrainian President Volodymyr] Zelenskyy, which the Kiev regime and the West are trying to promote during such meetings. None of its 10 points is aimed at finding a negotiated and diplomatic solution to the crisis," Zakharova said in a statement.  

She further described the peace formula set forth by Zelensky as "a senseless ultimatum to Russia, which is aimed at protracting hostilities," and that a peaceful settlement would therefore be impossible.  

"By promoting Zelenskyy's 'formula,' the Kiev regime and the West are trying to downplay the high value of other countries' peace proposals and monopolize the very right to propose them. In essence, as we said, there is a fight against dissent at the international level, attempts to push through unviable settlement ideas through unscrupulous manipulations," the statement read.

Zakharova added that Russia has always been and remains open to a diplomatic solution to the crisis and is prepared to discuss serious peace proposals.

Considering the fact that Russia was not invited to take part in the Jeddah summit, the meeting itself -- and every previous meeting that excluded Russia in peace negotiations -- have no value, She underlined. 

"We are convinced that a truly comprehensive, sustainable, and fair settlement is possible only if the Kiev regime stops hostilities and terrorist attacks, and its Western sponsors stop pumping weapons into the armed forces of Ukraine," she added.

The Jeddah summit, which hosted talks on the Ukrainian conflict from August 5-6, was concluded with participants agreeing to respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and that the UN's Charter should constitute the basis for any peace agreement in the context of the Ukraine conflict.

They also agreed to create working groups on the ten points of the peace formula set forth by Kiev.

According to sources cited by the report, the talks have not yet set a specific timing for the meeting of heads of state. However, that could happen by the end of 2023. 

Kiev said it expects the summit to endorse its peace proposal which includes a return to the pre-2014 borders.

Prior to the meeting last week, Zakharova said that any decisions on the Ukrainian conflict that might be reached during talks are "meaningless" without Russia's participation and that some countries would use the platform to build an anti-Russian coalition.

On a similar note, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that Moscow will attentively follow the talks to assess the goals participants were pursuing.
