MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov, on Thursday, dismissed Ukrainian Commander-in-Chief Valery Zaluzhny's claims of a battlefield impasse, stating that they are false.
On Wednesday, Zaluzhny said in an interview with the Economist that the conflict with Russia has reached a "stalemate," adding that, according to NATO’s "text books" and the plans for the counteroffensive, "four months should have been enough time for us to have reached Crimea, to have fought in Crimea, to return from Crimea and to have gone back in and out again."

"No, it [conflict] has not reached a stalemate. Russia consistently continues to conduct the special military operation. All the objectives must be reached," Peskov said, answering a question whether the Kremlin agrees with Zaluzhny's statement.
