According to TASS, on November 28 local time, the Russian Embassy in the UK issued a statement criticizing The Daily Telegraph for openly distorting President Putin's remarks on the situation in Ukraine.

The statement said: "We would like to draw the attention of British media to the need for accurate quotation of statements by Russian officials, especially on sensitive issues such as the Ukraine crisis. Some media, particularly The Daily Telegraph, have openly distorted the meaning of President Putin's statements during his visit to Kyrgyzstan. This media has deliberately fabricated Putin's words to claim that he said 'Russia will continue to fight until the last Ukrainian dies.'"

The statement clarified: "However, the actual context was completely different. What Putin actually meant was that some people in the West believed the conflict should be ended as soon as possible because Ukraine could no longer resist; while others in the West called for 'fighting until the last Ukrainian'."

"Such distortion of the statements of Russia's top leader only stokes the fire and plays into the hands of those Western forces who truly wish to 'fight until the last Ukrainian.' "The Russian embassy emphasized this and called on British media to refer to official sources when reporting.

The report noted that on November 28 local time, The Daily Telegraph published an article titled "Putin: Russia is Ready to Fight Until the Last Ukrainian Dies." In fact, when Putin spoke about the situation in Ukraine at a press conference in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on November 27, he was referring to Western politicians who insisted on "fighting until the last Ukrainian."

On November 27 local time, while visiting Kyrgyzstan, Putin also responded to the recent situation between Russia and Ukraine. He stated that there is currently no "draft of a peace agreement," only a "list of issues," and "it is impolite for me to talk about the final agreement now."

Puvin believes that there is currently only a "list of issues" related to Ukraine that needs to be discussed and eventually formed into a draft, but there is no "peace agreement draft." The list of issues proposed by the United States can serve as the basis for a future agreement. He said, "There are a series of issues that need to be discussed and ultimately determined."

He revealed that an American delegation will visit Moscow next week, and the Kremlin is ready for "serious discussions" with the US.

However, he immediately pointed out that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will only end after "Ukrainian forces withdraw from the territories they occupy." He said, "If Ukraine does not withdraw its troops, Russia will continue to achieve its goals through military means."
