SOCHI, November 8. /TASS/. US President-elect Donald Trump made an overstatement when he said he could resolve the Ukrainian conflict overnight, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"We all remember that he [Trump] was going to come up with proposals that would resolve the Ukrainian crisis even before he is inaugurated. Of course, his remarks of being able to do it overnight are an overstatement of some kind. Certainly, nothing can resolve this issue so quickly," he said.

At the same time, Peskov added that if the new US administration "will be eyeing peace instead of conflict," it will certainly do better than its predecessors.
