“As for the peace talks, this matter is currently on hold. There are no new ideas,” said the Russian presidential spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, at a press conference from Moscow, where he insisted that Russia has a series of conditions to end the war, launched in February 2022 by order of Vladimir Putin.
“The Kiev side knows our demands perfectly well. They do not want to discuss them by peaceful means,” he said, emphasizing that Russia will continue with “a favorable momentum” for Moscow “on the front lines.” “The operation continues,” Peskov said in statements collected by the TASS agency.

In this way, Peskov claimed the “evident” Russian advance on the battlefield. “Experts perfectly understand what this momentum means and what consequences it will ultimately have for the Kiev regime,” he said, emphasizing that attacks against Ukraine are “systematic and selective” against military infrastructure.
“We are destroying the military and military-related infrastructure of the Kiev regime. Our military know what they are doing and know the means to do it,” he stressed, denying that there is an escalation in the conflict as Ukraine and its Western partners have been warning, alerts that Peskov attributed to attempts to “instill fear.”
