‘Peace talks are out of question’: Russia after Ukraine’s Zelenskyy pushes ceasefire negotiations

Moscow: Russia has reiterated that it will not be pursuing peace talks with Ukraine after Kyiv’s August 6 incursion in Kursk, days after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy pushed for peace negotiations with Moscow on Ukrainian terms and asked allies including the United States to support it. Zelenskyy said his Kursk incursion was one of the core elements of the plan to increase internal pressure on the Kremlin that would ‘force’ it to end the war.
