Medvedev Denounces Peace Talks Amid Ukraine Conflict

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia's Security Council, declared that there would be no peace talks with Kyiv following Ukraine's incursion into Russia's Kursk region. He emphasized that negotiations would only occur after Ukraine's complete defeat on the battlefield, dismissing any previous suggestions of peace talks.

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia's Security Council, has asserted that peace talks with Kyiv are off the table following Ukraine's recent incursion into Russia's Kursk region. According to Medvedev, negotiations will only be possible once Ukraine is thoroughly defeated in the conflict.

Medvedev took to the Telegram messaging app to express his views, stating, 'The casual chit-chat of self-proclaimed intermediaries on the virtuous subject of peace has ceased. Even if they cannot say it out loud, everyone recognises the reality of the situation.'

Known for his hardline stance against the West, Medvedev argued that previous discussions about peace were premature and without tangible outcomes. He made it clear that the current state of affairs permits no room for negotiation until the enemy is completely destroyed.
