The Kremlin called statements about the “Korean” scenario for ending the conflict in Ukraine a “duck”

Kyiv’s information that Moscow allegedly wants to offer Ukraine to end hostilities according to the “Korean” scenario is not reliable, presidential press secretary Dmitry Peskov told reporters.

Formerly Secretary of the National Security and Defense Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov declaredthat Deputy Head of the Presidential Administration of Russia Dmitry Kozak meets with “politicians of the past” and through them transmits messages that the Russian authorities are “ready for many concessions in order to fix the status quo that exists now” and force Kyiv to “some kind of truce “.

“It (Kyiv’s statement) is unfair, no one talks about it, this is another duck. Moreover, if I understand correctly, they really had some messages there, but they were about some other person with the surname Kozak. They also have a person with that name in the Rada or somewhere else,” he said.

Russian President Vladimir Putin during a telephone conversation with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan confirmed Moscow’s readiness for a serious dialogue on a settlement in Ukraine, if Kyiv fulfills the requirements voiced earlier and takes into account the “new territorial realities.”

At the end of December, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmitry Kuleba proposed holding a kind of “peace summit” at the UN site at the end of February. The UN said that the Secretary General of the world organization António Guterres is ready to mediate during the negotiations, if all parties agree to this. Peskov then said that Russia will not be follow the conditions of Ukraine, since Moscow is guided only by its own goals and common sense.

After the end of hostilities on the Korean Peninsula in the summer of 1953, an armistice agreement was signed, which created the Korean demilitarized zone, which runs along the 38th parallel, dividing the Korean Peninsula into two approximately equal parts. However, the peace treaty was never signed, and North and South Korea are technically still at war.
