The Kremlin's response: "Was a fatal mistake by Ukraine"

Forcing Russia to make peace with Ukraine would be a "fatal mistake". This is according to Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, according to Reuters.

Peskov claims that Russia wants peace but that it cannot be forced because it is "impossible".

- Russia is an advocate of peace, but on the condition that its basic security is guaranteed.

The background to Peskov's statement is that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said that Moscow "must be forced" to peace.

Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022.
