Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Kremlin says there can be no progress in resolving the Ukraine conflict unless Kyiv recognizes occupied territories as Russian.
Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s spokesman also brushes off Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s proposal that Russia begin pulling out troops this Christmas.
“The Ukrainian side needs to take into account the realities that have developed on the ground,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov tells reporters.
“These realities show that the Russian Federation has new territories,” he adds. “Without taking into account these realities, any progress is impossible.”
