REUTERS The press secretary of the Russian dictator, Dmitry Peskov, said that Moscow is supposedly "interested in achieving a lasting peace," but not in a temporary ceasefire. His words are quoted by Russian media.
"Putin and the Russian side have always stated that we stand for a strong peace, peace forever, and not for a ceasefire that, in essence, will give nothing," Peskov said.
The press secretary of the head of the Russian Federation also said that Ukraine knows very well the conditions for ending the war. According to him, those conditions will allow a path toward a sustainable peace.
Why Russia and Ukraine did not start negotiations
Earlier, the U.S. Permanent Representative to NATO, Matthew Vitaker, said that the Russians continue to strike Ukraine because they aim to achieve significant gains in the winter to improve their position in negotiations.
According to Vitaker, the U.S. is trying to stop the war between Russia and Ukraine, and for that it is necessary to conclude a series of ceasefire agreements. He emphasized that, so far, both sides are still trying to gain the upper hand. In particular, in his view, the Russians see the situation as one in which they might achieve significant successes if their strategy works.
