Moscow [Russia], November 3 (ANI): Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov refuted the Ukrainian claims of achieving 'victory' in ongoing conflict with Russia, while also denying that the conflict has reached a 'stalemate', Russian News Agency TASS reported.
"The Kiev regime should have realized long ago that it is absurd to even talk about any prospects of the Kyiv regime's victory on the battlefield. And the sooner the Kiev regime itself realizes this, the sooner some prospects will open up," Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
"No, it has not reached a stalemate. Russia is consistently carrying out the special military operations. All the set goals should be fulfilled," Peskov added.
