The Kremlin has repeatedly claimed it prefers a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine, but insists that peace talks are impossible unless Russia's military objectives are met. Russian officials, including spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, accuse Ukraine and Western countries of rejecting all proposals for dialogue and not genuinely seeking peace. Moscow argues that the West has never prioritized a settlement, instead fueling the conflict by supporting Kyiv militarily. Despite these statements, Russia shows no signs of de-escalation and continues to justify its invasion with shifting demands. The Kremlin maintains that restoring relations with Ukraine is only possible after its conditions are fulfilled.
