In the opinion of peskovthe very discussion about the delivery to Ukraine of weapons that can reach Russian territory “is extremely dangerous.”

In addition, the sooner kyiv “shows a willingness to take into account the Russian demands, which will be met one way or another, the sooner everything will be over and the Ukrainian people can proceed to rebuild themselves after the tragedy caused by their regime,” he added.

Zelensky said this Wednesday in the framework of the Davos Forum that he does not fully understand if putin is alive and if the decisions are made by him or his environment.

“I don’t have that information (…) I don’t quite understand who we’re dealing with,” stressed.

“Impossible to negotiate, I don’t know who that guy is,” he said, referring to putin. “I don’t know if he is alive, I don’t know who is in the circle that he decides.”

At the same time, commenting on the statements by former President Dmitry Medvedev, who suggested the possibility of using nuclear weapons in the event of Russia’s defeat in Ukrainethe Kremlin representative denied that this goes against Russian military doctrine, which does not provide for preemptive attacks but does authorize the use of atomic weapons in the event of an existential threat to the Russian state.

Medvedev, current vice president of the Russian Security Council, said Thursday that “nuclear powers do not lose major conflicts on which their fate depends.”

“This should be obvious to anyone. Even for a Western politician who has retained at least some trace of intelligence, ”she insisted.
