[global times report] according to reports from russian media such as ria novosti on the 11th, russian president’s press secretary peskov told reporters that us president biden’s call to russian president putin could not end the russia-ukraine conflict, but if the united states gives up using ukraine to confront russia, it will help end the conflict.

ria novosti reported that when asked "whether the kremlin agrees that 'biden's call to putin can end the russia-ukraine conflict'," peskov replied, "no, this will not end the conflict in any way."

according to the report, peskov also said, "we have said more than once that if the united states abandons its own policy of treating ukraine as 'consumables' in trying to contain everything related to russia, this will almost end (the conflict) to a large extent."

since russia launched a special military operation against ukraine in february 2022, the united states has taken a number of measures, including providing weapons to ukraine, which has caused dissatisfaction on the russian side. according to russian media such as ria novosti on the 4th of this month, russian foreign minister lavrov was interviewed by russian reporters and was asked about the united states' provision of weapons to ukraine. he warned the united states not to joke with russia's red line.

recently, with the ukrainian army entering russia to carry out operations, whether russia and ukraine can resume negotiations has attracted attention. according to afp and other media reports, ukrainian president zelensky said on the 19th of last month that the ukrainian army has controlled multiple settlements in kursk and "ukraine is achieving its strategic goals." he also urged the international community to organize a second "peace summit" this year, saying that "we must work with our partners to force russia to achieve peace." russian foreign minister lavrov said on the same day that putin had made it clear that "any negotiations are impossible" after ukraine's "attack and invasion" of kursk oblast.
