"The statements of the US president are very serious. Something in them is addressed personally to President Putin. According to him, 'such a decision,' which is made 'both in Washington, and in NATO countries, and directly in Brussels,' is perceived by the Ukrainian side 'not as a signal for peace, but as a signal for the continuation of the war,'" Peskov said.

In turn, Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergei Ryabkov, commenting on the American leader's speech, stated that Moscow is "ready to negotiate" with Kyiv, but if this readiness "does not find a proper response," Russia will continue to achieve its goals through the so-called "special military operation."
