The Kremlin stated that the "freezing" of the war against Ukraine, proposed by Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev, is impossible given Kyiv's position. This was stated by the press secretary of the Russian dictator Dmitry Peskov, reports UNN.

According to Peskov, the main condition for Russia remains achieving its own goals in the war. He also claims that hostilities could cease "by the end of the day" if the Ukrainian authorities make "appropriate decisions."

The Kremlin representative also reacted to the statement by the President of Kazakhstan that "the nature of this conflict is not entirely clear." Peskov claimed that Russia had supposedly not sufficiently explained its arguments regarding the reasons for the war.
So, we have not sufficiently talked about the root causes. We will continue to do so with renewed energy. Our partners must know our position
At the same time, Peskov noted that Tokayev has repeatedly expressed his position on the war in Ukraine, which is consistent, although Moscow does not share it.
Tokayev has repeatedly spoken on the Ukrainian issue. He has a consistent position. This does not mean we agree. But Kazakhstan is our closest partner, our closest ally
Reminder
Earlier that day, Kazakh President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev proposed to Vladimir Putin to "freeze" the war against Ukraine and stated that "the nature of this conflict is not entirely clear."
