Russia has repeatedly claimed it prefers a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine, but accuses Ukraine and Western nations of rejecting all proposals for dialogue. Kremlin officials, including spokesperson Dmitry Peskov and Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova, argue that peace talks have never been a genuine priority for the West, which they accuse of fueling the conflict by arming Kyiv. Moscow insists it will continue military operations until its objectives are met, and restoration of relations with Ukraine is contingent on these goals being achieved. The Kremlin maintains that its invasion was justified by the alleged refusal of its opponents to engage in meaningful negotiations. Western leaders, meanwhile, have dismissed these claims, pointing to Russia's ongoing aggression as the main obstacle to peace.
