Russian presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters that Russian-Ukrainian relations after the special military operation are currently an overly theoretical issue; first, the task of the special military operation must be completed. Peskov said that before determining the principles of future interaction between Moscow and Kyiv, it is necessary to confirm that the tasks facing the special military operation in the direction of Ukraine have been completed. “First, to resolve the issue, we need to confirm that the tasks facing the special military operation have been completed,” he said. Peskov added that Russia is more inclined to make peace with Ukraine through political and diplomatic means. However, Kyiv and its Western allies rejected all proposals for peaceful dialogue, so special military operations continued.
