Dmitri Peskov, the Russian president’s press secretary, at a press conference on November 5 mentioned the issue of the settlement of the Ukrainian conflict.

Russia’s interests cannot be swayed by the internal situation of the US in the settlement of the conflict, he said, adding that Russia is a completely independent state and its interests will be defended in any case.

Russia wants more to defend its interests in a peaceful way, but there has never been such an opportunity so far and, therefore, the special military operations are going on, he noted.

If a person who will assume the political responsibility for the mediation of the Ukrainian conflict appears in Kiev, Russia’s interests can be defended in a peaceful way, he said.
