Russia claims it prefers a diplomatic solution to the war in Ukraine but accuses Ukraine and Western nations of rejecting all proposals for dialogue. Russian officials, including Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova and Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, argue that peace has never been a genuine priority for the West, which they say continues to arm Kyiv and fuel the conflict. Moscow insists it will continue military operations until its objectives are met, making any truce or restoration of relations conditional on Ukraine's compliance with Russia's demands. Meanwhile, there are reports of potential talks between Ukrainian and Russian leaders in Türkiye, but significant technical and political obstacles remain. The ongoing blame game underscores the deep mistrust and lack of progress toward a negotiated settlement.
