Zelensky Does Not Want Peace: Zakharova

Kiev has once again confirmed that it does not intend to negotiate with Russia, and that Vladimir Zelensky does not want peace, stated Maria Zakharova, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry.

Earlier, Ukraine's Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba announced that negotiations with Russia would be possible "only after its defeat." According to him, "Russia must sit at the negotiating table after being defeated on the battlefield; otherwise, it will again be a language of ultimatums."

Zakharova commented, "In response to all who blame Russia for not negotiating with the 'Kiev regime': the Kiev regime itself has rejected it. Today, Kuleba confirmed that once again."

"But the fact is confirmed—Zelensky and his friends (what remains of them) do not want peace," the diplomat summarized.
