Kremlin says no chance of Ukraine peace talks as Zelenskyy travels to Washington

The Kremlin said that nothing good would come from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s trip to Washington on Wednesday and that Russia saw no chance of peace talks with Kyiv.

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that continued Western arms supplies to Ukraine would lead to a “deepening” of the conflict - something which could backfire on Kyiv, he warned.
