“We really believe that the issue of negotiations is not relevant at this time,” the Kremlin spokesman told reporters.
The Kremlin stated today that there is currently no basis for peace talks between the Russia and Ukraine and that the peace plan proposed by Kiev is absurd as it excludes Russia.
“We really believe that the issue of negotiations is not relevant at this time,” the Kremlin spokesman told reporters. Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov said Britain had sunk the chances of a peace deal in 2022 by pressuring Kiev to reject a draft deal shortly after Russia sent troops into Ukraine.
“After that, there were no prerequisites for negotiations — and there were even fewer prerequisites after Ukraine actually legally prohibited any negotiations with the Russian side,” Peskov said.
The Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky signed a decree in October 2022 formally declaring the prospect of any Ukraine talks with Putin “impossible” after Russia announced it had annexed four regions of southern and eastern Ukraine.
Peskov said Zelensky’s peace plan, known as the Ukrainian president’s “peace formula,” is flawed because it seeks to achieve peace without Russia’s involvement.
“To say the least, this is an absurd process,” Peskov said.
Zelensky’s 10-point peace plan calls for the withdrawal of Russian troops and a cessation of hostilities and the restoration of Ukraine’s state border with Russia.
