MOSCOW (Reuters) - The Kremlin on Friday praised U.S. President-elect Donald Trump's criticism of Ukrainian strikes with U.S. missiles deep into Russian territory and said the position was fully in line with Moscow's own position.

Trump criticized Ukraine's use of U.S.-supplied missiles for attacks deep into Russian territory in a Time magazine interview published on Thursday, comments that suggest he could alter U.S. policy toward Ukraine.

"The statement itself completely coincides with our position," Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters. He said Trump's statement was in line with "our vision of the causes of escalation".

"It appeals to us."
