Former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia’s Security Council, promised on Wednesday that there would be no talks between the two countries until Ukraine is completely defeated.

“The empty chatter of intermediaries that no one had appointed about the wonderful peace is over,” he said on Telegram. “There will be no more negotiations until the complete defeat of the enemy.”

So this sucks. Ukraine just shot itself in the foot really badly and no one in the west cares. They’d rather see Ukraine destroy itself in the pursuit of destroying Russia rather than surviving the war with realistic peace negotiations. Ukraine was so damn close but now I don’t think it’s possible. Unless what Medvedev says doesn't affect anything and is just all talk.

I also didn’t know that India was getting involved in fostering peace but we’ll see how that goes. The article has not said anything about how China is thinking of handling this considering they were on the peace talks train since the beginning, I can’t imagine they’re too thrilled about this development…

Looks like USA hand directly in work again. Apparently Ukraine tried to open multiple avenues of negotiation in recent weeks and then suddenly make nonsensical militarily move at Kursk and dig themselves even deeper performing terror attacks that will have only one and very predictable result - increasing support for war among Russians.
