Quote from Peskov: "No, it has not reached a stalemate. Russia is consistently continuing to conduct a special military operation. All the goals set must be fulfilled.

The Kyiv regime had to understand a long time ago that even talking about any possibilities of Kyiv’s victory on the battlefield is absurd. And the sooner the Kyiv regime realises it, the sooner some prospects will open up."

Background: 

• Valerii Zaluzhnyi, the Commander-in-Chief of Ukraine’s Armed Forces, stated in his column for The Economist that the war with Russia was moving to a new stage, "positional" warfare with static and exhausting battles, which will require Ukraine to have advanced technology to win. 
• Zaluzhnyi named five priorities that Ukraine needs to survive in the war with Russia, namely air defence, electronic warfare (EW), counter-battery fire, mine-breaching technology, and the building up of reserves.
• Zaluzhnyi, in an interview with The Economist, said the situation at the front has reached a stalemate, when neither side can advance because they are technologically equipped at the same level. The general noted the situation reminded him of the First World War.
• The general believes that Ukraine needs advanced technologies to break the stalemate.
