No Peace Talks Until Battlefield Victory: Medvedev on Ukraine's Incursion

Dmitry Medvedev, deputy head of Russia's Security Council, declared that peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv are off the table until Ukraine is decisively defeated. Medvedev criticized previous peace efforts and asserted that any intermediary efforts are now futile.

Ukraine's recent incursion into Russia's Kursk region has eliminated any chance for peace talks between Moscow and Kyiv, according to Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia's Security Council.

Medvedev announced on his Telegram account that the reality of the situation has been recognized by all, leading to a cessation of attempts by self-proclaimed intermediaries to broker peace. He emphasized that no negotiations will occur until the enemy is utterly destroyed.

Medvedev, who has taken a hardline stance against the West, also stated that prior suggestions for premature peace talks lacked tangible outcomes and were ultimately deemed unnecessary.
