The Russian government claims it prefers a diplomatic and political solution to the war in Ukraine, but accuses Ukraine and Western nations of rejecting all proposals for dialogue. Kremlin officials, including spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, argue that peace talks have never been a genuine priority for the West, which they accuse of fueling the conflict by arming Kyiv. Moscow insists that it will continue military operations until its stated goals are met, making the restoration of relations with Ukraine contingent on these demands. The Kremlin's statements suggest little willingness to compromise, framing the ongoing war as the result of Western intransigence. This rhetoric underscores the deep divide between Russia and the West over the path to ending the conflict.
