Kremlin: Ukraine war will end in victory; US envoys expected soon in Moscow
Translated from Italian, summarized and contextualized by DistantNews.
TLDR
- The Kremlin stated that the war in Ukraine will end in victory, with Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasizing, "This is our war. And we will win."
- Russian presidential advisor Yuri Ushakov announced that US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner are expected in Moscow soon to continue dialogue.
- The statements come as President Vladimir Putin previously declared that the Ukrainian conflict was nearing its end.
From Moscow, the narrative is clear: the special military operation in Ukraine is not a conflict, but a war that Russia is destined to win. Presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov articulated this unwavering conviction, stating, "This is our war. And we will win." This assertion, echoing President Putin's earlier remarks about the conflict nearing its end, frames the ongoing events as a decisive struggle for Russia.
This is our war. And we will win.
The anticipated arrival of US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow is presented not as a sign of weakness or negotiation under duress, but as an opportunity to "continue the dialogue." This framing suggests that Russia remains open to engagement, but on its own terms, reinforcing the image of a strong and resolute nation.
Soon, sooner or later, and I think quite soon, our counterparts Witkoff and Kushner will come to Moscow.
This perspective stands in stark contrast to Western interpretations, which often focus on the costs and potential outcomes of the conflict for Ukraine and the international community. Here, the emphasis is on Russian resolve, national destiny, and the inevitability of victory. The inclusion of figures like Witkoff and Kushner, who have ties to the previous US administration, is noted, but the primary focus remains on Russia's strategic objectives and its unwavering commitment to achieving them.
We will continue our dialogue with them.
