Former Russian president claims Kyiv's capitulation may open "path to peace"
Dmitry Medvedev, former President of the Russian Federation and incumbent Deputy Chairman of Russia’s Security Council, wants Ukraine to surrender, although even in this case, he isn't certain whether it would lead to peace with Russia.

Details: Medvedev claimed that "the enlightened world has once again shuddered to learn about the allocation of dozens of senseless[ly spent] billions of dollars for zombies from the 404 country", likely referring to the US aid to Ukraine.
He believes that "kamikazes in burning Western tanks will not see this money", but supporting the Ukrainian counteroffensive will help the US maintain the "myth of the great dollar economy".
Quote: "The people suffering in the foxholes of a divided country truly need nothing more than surrender, which might open the path to peace. However, neither Washington nor Kyiv wants peace. The US wants absolute power and will not spare Ukrainian bloody salo for it (salo is lard, cured slabs of swine fatback, with or without skin; Russian propaganda often exploits a stereotype of the Ukrainian people loving this food, portraying Ukrainians as 'salo-feasting' people – ed).
Details: Medvedev further viciously alleged that thousands of people were being killed in the counteroffensive but that would not help the "Kyiv regime".
Note from UP: Russia occupied part of the territory of Ukraine and started a hybrid war in 2014, and it carried out a full-scale invasion and seizure of new territories in 2022.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine is ready to negotiate peace at the price of territorial concessions; both countries seek the capitulation of the other side. Kyiv and Moscow are ready to wait for new presidents from the enemy for negotiations.
Russian President Vladimir Putin wants Kyiv and its allies to come to terms with the seizure of Ukrainian territory in the east and south and to agree to key demands of the Russian Federation, such as the refusal of Ukraine to join NATO. Putin himself shows no willingness to make concessions.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy insists that Russia must withdraw all its troops from Ukrainian territory to start negotiations.
Neither Kyiv nor its allies believe that Russia will not try to seize territories in the future after reaching any agreements.
