Amid talks between the Presidents of Ukraine and the U.S. in Washington and at the UN General Assembly, russia is again trying to shift responsibility for the lack of progress onto Ukraine.<\/p>\n
\u25ab putin\u2019s press secretary dmitry peskov reiterated that a meeting between Ukraine and russia at the leadership level is \u201cdoomed to fail without preparation.\u201d At the same time, peskov, despite contradicting his initial statement, insisted on an entirely unacceptable proposal to hold the leaders\u2019 meeting in moscow, rejecting neutral venues.<\/p>\n
With these statements, putin\u2019s spokesperson essentially confirmed that russia refuses such a meeting and continuation of peace talks, while trying to shift responsibility onto Ukraine. At the same time, peskov again threatened that \u201cfrontline dynamics\u201d would worsen if Ukraine does not comply with kremlin ultimatums. He also acknowledged russia\u2019s true goals, stating: \u201cWhat is happening around russia is a war, and it must be won.\u201d<\/p>\n
Despite the obvious fact that russia does not want the war to end and refuses substantive talks, the kremlin continues to simulate a desire for peace and readiness for negotiations.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
