""We want peace. We don't want a truce to give Ukraine breathing space and prepare for a continuation of the war,""
""We want to stop this war, achieve our goals, secure our interests, and guarantee peace in Europe for the future. That's what we want.""
""Currently, there are four constituent entities that are an integral part of the Russian Federation. I'm not talking about Crimea,""
""Thus, together we have five constituent entities, and we absolutely cannot compromise on them.""
Russian officials responded cautiously to reports of progress in US-European negotiations offering NATO-style security guarantees to Kyiv. The Kremlin said it had not seen the proposals or the details of the US security offer. Moscow continues to insist on blocking Ukrainian NATO membership and maintained that it seeks a final peace deal rather than a temporary cease-fire. Russian leaders emphasized that four partially occupied Ukrainian regions and Crimea are considered integral to Russia and that those territorial claims are non-negotiable. Russian officials signaled no shift from hard-line territorial and security demands despite talks in Berlin.
