Ukrinform
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Ukraine responded to the recent comment by the spokesman for the Russian President, Dmitry Peskov, that Russia has an "advantage" in the war and will not agree to a truce with Ukraine, noting that such a blatant disregard for the US's peace efforts exposes the country as weak.

This was stated on X by the spokesman for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Heorhii Tykhyi, Ukrinform reports.

"US: calls for an immediate end to the killing.

Peskov: one-finger salute.

The longer Russians believe they will be able to avoid consequences for bluntly rejecting US peace efforts, the more they will make the US appear weak," Tykhyi wrote.
