Peskov: Frontline dynamics and escalating internal strife within the Kyiv regime prove Ukraine is losing the conflict
On August 26, during a regular briefing at the Kremlin, Kremlin spokesperson Peskov answered journalists' questions on the following topics:
1. Regarding the situation in Ukraine: Peskov stated that Ukraine is losing the conflict, with frontline dynamics proving this point, and highlighted severe corruption and intensifying political infighting within the Kyiv regime.
2. Regarding statements by European leaders: He criticized Finnish President Stubb and UK Prime Minister Burnham for saying "Russia will fail," calling such remarks "a very big deception" and pointing out that these European leaders actually wish the war to continue.
3. Regarding the visit of the CIA director to Russia: Peskov confirmed that US CIA Director John Ratcliffe visited Moscow but did not meet with President Putin. This visit was described as an "exchange between security agencies."
4. Regarding NATO troops stationed in Ukraine: He emphasized that the deployment of a NATO military task force in Ukraine after the conflict ends would be unacceptable to Russia and constitutes a threat.
Peskov said, "Ukraine is losing this conflict—this is undeniable. The dynamics on the frontlines clearly demonstrate this. That's point one. It's also undeniable and obvious that those who were once participants in corrupt processes are now condemning their former corrupt associates after leaving power. Political infighting within the Kyiv regime indeed exists and is intensifying. The Kyiv regime is disintegrating from within and is losing even the already insufficient stability it ever had. Yet Europeans are unwilling to see this—they are making a major mistake."
