Peskov: From the very beginning, President Putin has repeatedly emphasized that we are ready for a settlement by political and diplomatic means. After all, the SMO is an extreme solution, an extreme measure that was applied after the countries of the collective West and Ukraine rejected any proposals for dialogue. For us, the main thing is to achieve the goals that are before us, and then, what methods to use is secondary. It is preferable, of course, to do this by peaceful means, but we see that neither Washington, nor the European states, nor Ukraine, led by them, are inclined to political and diplomatic methods now. Therefore, the SMO must continue until the goals are fully achieved. Source: Victor vicktop55
