Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has called on Ukraine and the US to give in. “Everyone in Kiev and Washington must realize that Russia cannot be defeated on the battlefield,” Peskov said, leaving aside Russian setbacks.
If US President Joe Biden, in his own words, still believes in recapturing Ukrainian territories, then this shows that US policy has reached a dead end, Peskov said on Sunday in the political show ‘Moscow. Kremlin. Putin.”
Heavy Russian losses among the Russians
Russia has been waging a war of aggression against Ukraine for almost 21 months to force the neighboring country back into its own sphere of influence. Moscow suffered heavy losses in men and material and had to accept several defeats. Ukraine defends itself as best it can, but is dependent on arms supplies from the US and other countries.
Peskov suggested that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was constantly promising new offensives out of desperation as he sensed declining Western support. In the West, there is growing “fatigue and unwillingness to continue giving Ukraine money and supplying weapons and ammunition, especially if they now have to be delivered to Israel,” Peskov said.
Five million internally displaced persons in Ukraine
Meanwhile, Ukraine announced on Sunday that there are about five million internally displaced people due to Russian attacks that have been going on for years. The deputy head of government responsible for refugee issues, Iryna Vereshchuk, spoke on television about 4.9 million registered internal refugees. In Ukraine alone, 3.6 million people have fled since the large-scale Russian invasion in February 2022.
Previously, fighting in eastern Ukraine’s Donbass had internally displaced more than a million people since 2014. At the time, Moscow-controlled forces had separated parts of the Donetsk and Luhansk regions.
