In fact, resolving many conflicts in the form of a 'deal,' as is commonly said in the US, is impossible. Dmitry Peskov has already compared the duration required to reach peace agreements regarding the Ukrainian and Iranian crises this May.
Consensus
- Dmitry Peskov stated that many political conflicts are too complex to be resolved through quick deals or 'bargains' as commonly discussed in the United States.
- Peskov emphasized that resolving conflicts requires a long, laborious, and comprehensive process of settlement.
- The statement was made during a briefing at the Kremlin.
- Peskov's remarks were prompted by a question about whether developments around Iran signal futility in negotiations with Ukraine.
Points of divergence
- Peskov compared the duration of peace efforts for the Ukrainian and Iranian crises in May of this year, and cited Ukraine's failure to fulfill commitments made in 2014, 2015, and 2019 as justification for continuing Russia’s special military operation. — vesti
