No Peace in Ukraine Without Accepting Annexations: KremlinKremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov has said there can be no successful peace talks in Ukraine unless Kyiv and its Western partners accept Russia's claimed annexation of the partially-occupied Ukrainian territories of Donetsk, Luhansk, Kherson, and Zaporizhzhia.Peskov on Wednesday dismissed the Ukrainian proposal to organize a "peace summit" at the United Nations in February."And again, no Ukrainian 'peace plan' is possible if it does not take into account the modern reality; with Russia's territory, with four new regions joining Russia," Peskov said.Ukrainian leaders, meanwhile, have said that peace talks cannot even begin until Russian troops return to their pre-February 24 positions, which would mean the full liberation of Kherson and Zaporizhzhia, as well as portions of Luhansk and Donetsk.Some European leaders like German Chancellor Olaf Scholz and French President Emmanuel Macron have urged dialogue and security guarantees for Russia, but such interventions appear designed to keep lines of communication with the Kremlin open rather than pressure Kyiv into compromises."
