Kremlin claims war ends only “when Russia achieves its goals” — and they mean Ukraine’s erasure

Russia does not plan to stop killing Ukrainians. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has stated that the war against Ukraine will only end “when Russia achieves the goals it has set," UNIAN reports, citing Russian sources. 

Moscow does not want part of Ukrainian territory or money; it wants Ukraine to cease to exist. This is the most common mistake the West makes in understanding the reasons behind Russia's genocidal war.

Previously, US President Donald Trump proposed various options for Russia, such as conducting joint business, inviting President Vladimir Putin to Alaska, and hinting that Ukraine could potentially give up Crimea. However, none of this led to success. As a result, the US administration imposed sanctions on Russia and declined a meeting in Budapest. 

“I would like this conflict to end as soon as possible. It can only end when Russia achieves the objectives it initially set,” Peskov said.

Moscow shifts responsibility for failed negotiations onto the West

The Kremlin's spokesperson claimed that Moscow supposedly wants the war to end through political and diplomatic means. He also shifted the blame for the stalled negotiations once again onto other countries.

He claimed that the Russian side remains open to such a path, but the situation is currently on hold, not because of Russia.

Earlier, former Commander-in-Chief of the Ukrainian Army Valerii Zaluzhnyi explained Russia's tactics used to coerce Ukraine in the Kremlin's conditions. It is called the "Gromyko Method", employed during the Cold War era. 

“Our interlocutors do not wish to continue the conversation; they are being actively encouraged by Europeans, who believe that Ukraine can win the war and secure its interests by military means,” Peskov added.

Since 2022, Russia has demanded Ukraine's de facto capitulation, calling for its disarmament and the reduction of its military to leave it vulnerable to future invasions.

In August 2025, Putin confirmed that Russia’s conditions for ending the war, announced back in the summer of 2024, remain unchanged.

Last year, he insisted on the withdrawal of Ukrainian troops from the occupied territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia. Moscow has illegally incorporated these Ukrainian regions into its Constitution. Additionally, Russia demands that Ukraine renounce NATO membership, enshrine a non-nuclear status, and lift sanctions.
