Moscow accuses Zelenskyy of undermining Trump's peace initiatives
Russian officials assert that Ukrainian President Zelenskyy is rejecting realistic negotiations and maintaining unrealistic conditions, forcing Russia to pursue military solutions until Ukraine accepts reasonable terms.
At the UN Security Council, Russia's ambassador Nebensya accused President Zelenskyy of sabotaging the Trump administration's peace proposals. He argued that Zelenskyy refuses to engage in realistic negotiations and maintains unrealistic red lines that ignore the current military situation.
Nebensya stated that Russia will continue military operations until Zelenskyy agrees to reasonable negotiation terms, warning that Ukraine's position worsens daily. He criticized Ukraine's government for alleged corruption, terrorism, and lawlessness, claiming it prioritizes foreign funding over genuine peace.
Nebensya condemned Western nations for ignoring what he described as crimes by Kyiv, referencing a New Year's attack on a café in Kherson that killed 29 civilians. He also opposed French and British proposals to station NATO troops in Ukraine, emphasizing that NATO's eastward expansion caused the conflict.
