Peskov reminded everyone of Putin's June ultimatum
Dmitry Peskov responded to the statement of candidate for the position of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that during the upcoming negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, diplomatic concessions will be required from both sides - Kyiv and Moscow.
Russia's negotiating position on the settlement of the war in Ukraine was formulated by Volodymyr Putin in June 2024. Moscow does not plan to make concessions. This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, Russian media reported on Thursday, January 16.
This is how he reacted to the statement of candidate for the position of US Secretary of State Marco Rubio that in the course of future negotiations to end the war in Ukraine, diplomatic concessions will be required from both sides - Kyiv and Moscow.
"The fact is that our position on such a settlement was clearly formulated by the 'president'. We proceed from this position. This position was formulated in June last year during the head of state's speech to the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs," Peskov said.
According to him, this position of Russia is "consistent, extremely clear and well known to everyone."
"There is nothing more to add here," Peskov summed up.
In response, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said that with his statement, Putin made a big mistake that is beneficial for our state.
