Kremlin: Patriot missiles will not change Russia’s goals, no signs for peace talks during Zelenskyy’s visit

The Kremlin says US supplies of Patriot missile systems to Ukraine, announced during Zelenskyy’s visit to Washington, DC on Wednesday, will not contribute to ending the conflict and would not prevent Russia from achieving its goals.

In a call with reporters, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said that there had been no signs for peace talks during Zelenskyy’s visit and that this was evidence that the United States was fighting a proxy war with Russia “to the last Ukrainian”.
