Ukraine could stop everything by the end of the day if it fulfills Russia’s demands, Kremlin spokesperson says
If Kiev orders its troops to lay down their arms and fulfills Moscow’s demands, the entire Russian-Ukrainian conflict could be over by the end of the day, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters during a conference call on Tuesday.
“The Ukrainian side can stop everything before the end of today. There has to be an order for the nationalist battalions and Ukrainian soldiers to lay down their arms. Russia’s demands must also be met,” Peskov said, commenting on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s recent claim that the conflict must end before the winter.
Peskov noted that “everything else is just Zelensky’s thoughts,” adding that Russia’s special operation in Ukraine was going as planned and achieving its goals.
Reuters reported on Monday that Zelensky, speaking to the leaders of the G7 via a video link, insisted that the conflict between Moscow and Kiev had to be resolved by the end of the year before harsh winter conditions made it harder for Ukrainian troops to fight against Russian forces. According to the outlet, he urged the G7 nations to provide Ukraine with more weapons and pass tougher sanctions on Moscow.
