กรีมลินกล่าวว่าตะวันตกและไคยีฟกำลังขัดขวางความสันติในยูเครนในขณะที่สงครามยังคงดำเนินต่อไป

Russian officials, including Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, have repeatedly claimed that Russia prefers a diplomatic and political resolution to the war in Ukraine. However, they accuse Ukraine and Western countries of rejecting all proposals for dialogue and peace talks, insisting that the West has never genuinely prioritized a peaceful settlement. Moscow maintains that it will continue military operations until its stated goals are achieved, and has introduced new demands as prerequisites for restoring relations with Kyiv. The Kremlin blames the West for fueling the conflict by arming Ukraine and dismissing diplomatic efforts. These statements come as the war continues with no signs of a ceasefire or meaningful negotiations.
