MOSCOW, June 2 (Xinhua) -- Russian armed forces are launching systematic strikes against Ukraine's military infrastructure in Kiev and other cities, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Tuesday.

The spokesperson said Russia remains open to peace talks with Ukraine, but the conflict will continue if Ukraine continues to reject "genuine negotiations and serious decisions" aimed at achieving a peaceful settlement.

He added that negotiations on the Ukraine conflict remain on hold, although Moscow is maintaining contact with Washington through existing channels.

Russia's Foreign Ministry said on May 25 that the Russian armed forces were launching "consistent, systematic strikes" on Ukrainian military-industrial facilities in Kiev following the drone attack on a college building in Starobelsk in the Luhansk region.

Ukraine denied responsibility for the attack, saying its forces strike only military facilities and objects used for military purposes in accordance with international humanitarian law. Enditem
