Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said at a news conference on Thursday, where he was asked about Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the United States on Wednesday.
He said, among other things, that there had been no sign that Ukraine was ready for peace talks during Zelenskyi’s visit, and that there was further evidence that the United States was fighting a proxy war. with Russia “to the last Ukrainian”.
Furthermore, he claims that the United States and Ukraine refuse to listen to Russia’s point of view on the issue.
– Neither President Biden nor President Zelenskyy have so far said anything that suggests they could potentially be ready to listen to Russia’s concerns, Peskov says.
– Nothing that was said warned Zelensky against continuing attacks on residential buildings in the cities and villages of Donbas, and there were no real calls for peace, he adds.
Zelensky visited US President Joe Biden in the White House on Wednesday and addressed Congress, in what is his first foreign trip since the Russian invasion of Ukraine in late February.
Just hours before Zelensky landed in the United States, Russian President Vladimir Putin warned that next year Russia will continue to develop its military potential and the combat readiness of its nuclear forces.
