Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated that Russia seeks a comprehensive resolution to the Ukraine conflict rather than limited, fragmented truce proposals.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on October 8 that Russia favors a comprehensive, long-term settlement to the Ukraine conflict over piecemeal solutions. Speaking in Turkmenistan, Peskov noted that India’s recent three-point truce proposal, which focuses on energy infrastructure and Black Sea trade, addresses only specific aspects of the war. He also agreed with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s assessment that there are currently no prospects for a diplomatic settlement to the conflict.

Stance on Peace Initiatives

Peskov confirmed that while Russia welcomes efforts from Indian partners, the current proposals do not provide a basis for a full diplomatic solution. He emphasized that Moscow is not interested in temporary measures or limited ceasefires, but rather a sustainable agreement that would last for decades. Peskov further stated that he sees no immediate prospect for a three-way summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky, and US President Donald Trump.

Diplomatic Outlook

Addressing the current state of the conflict, Peskov agreed with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s characterization of the situation as a stalemate. He remarked that it remains the responsibility of diplomats to identify pathways toward a peaceful track, though he noted that statements from President Zelensky indicate no current foundation for such progress.
