The Russian Foreign Ministry stated on Wednesday that Moscow is unwilling to make concessions regarding Ukraine, emphasizing that President Vladimir Putin’s proposals for resolving the conflict must be acted upon.
Maria Zakharova, the ministry’s spokeswoman, made these remarks in response to U.S. President-elect Donald Trump’s call on Sunday for an immediate ceasefire and negotiations between Ukraine and Russia to put an end to “the madness.”
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy, who has been advocating for his country’s inclusion in the NATO military alliance, reacted to Trump’s statements by asserting that Kyiv requires robust security guarantees.
Zakharova remarked that those who believe Russia would concede on Ukraine either lack historical perspective or do not fully understand the situation. She reiterated that Putin’s peace proposals must be put into practice.
The Kremlin leader has insisted that Ukraine should not join NATO and that Russia requires control over the entirety of the four Ukrainian regions he claims are now part of Russia for peace to be achieved.
