Moscow is not certain of whether media reports about the United States encouraging Ukraine to negotiate with Russia are true - truthful reports emerge at times, but most of them are mere speculations, according to Kremlin Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov.
"We do not know whether this is true or not, because I repeat, there are truthful reports, but most reports are absolute speculation or pure lies. So, we are not able to comment on [the reports about the US asking Ukraine to negotiate with Russia] without being sure that this, indeed, is true," Peskov told reporters.
Earlier this month, The Washington Post reported that Biden's administration was asking the Ukrainian leadership under wraps to exhibit an openness to negotiate with Russia.
Russia’s victory in Ukraine protects against global conflict
Only Russia's complete and final victory in Ukraine will ensure safety from the global conflict that the West is pushing the world into, according to Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of the Russian Security Council.
"Let's call a spade a spade. Western countries are pushing the world to a global war. Only the complete and final victory of Russia will be a safeguard against a world conflict," he said in response to the Western countries’ frequent speculations to the effect that "Russia cannot be allowed to win the war."
Medvedev invited his subscribers to follow "simple formal logic."
"If it is not Russia that is expected to win, then, apparently, it is Ukraine. Ukraine’s aim in the war, proclaimed by the Kiev regime, is the retaking of all territories that previously belonged to it. In other words, their annexation from Russia. This is a threat to the existence of our state and the collapse of today's Russia," he stated.
