Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Thursday that Ukraine “will have to understand and accept” the post-war realities, as Moscow signals openness to a third round of peace negotiations with Kyiv.
“Ukraine will certainly have to understand that the situation has changed compared to what it was three years ago,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Russia’s RBC news outlet on the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum.
“Apparently, not to the end (they don’t understand), but at least they probably carefully read the text of the memorandum that we handed over,” he added, referring to a Russian proposal outlining what Moscow calls the “new realities” that Kyiv must acknowledge.
Peskov said recent humanitarian agreements, including prisoner exchanges and the return of wounded individuals, have laid a foundation for more comprehensive talks.
“The fact that many wounded young people were given the opportunity to return home is a very important result,” he noted.
He also floated the possibility of a future trilateral summit between Russian President Vladimir Putin, US President Donald Trump, and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, saying such a meeting would need to be preceded by extensive groundwork and clear points of agreement.
Peskov added that Israel had provided security assurances regarding Russian experts working at Iran’s Bushehr Nuclear Power Plant, amid rising regional tensions.
The Kremlin has repeatedly called on Kyiv to return to the negotiating table, pointing to the earlier Istanbul talks—held on 16 May and 2 June — as a potential framework. Those initial rounds ended without a breakthrough, but Moscow says the door remains open.
