“The main thing for Russia is to achieve its goals. In the absence of prerequisites for a settlement through political and diplomatic means, we are continuing the special military operation,” Peskov told reporters.
Ukraine needs to understand that it can not achieve victory on the battlefield, the spokesman added. Peskov also commended on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s statement about Kiev rejecting any compromises.
“President Zelensky and the Kiev regime, in fact, desperately promise military successes on the battlefield, they make promises to their donors. Their previous promises did not come true,” Peskov said, adding that the donors are now “worried.”
