Russia: Ukraine's Attack on Kursk Rules Out Possibility of Negotiation

Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zaharova, stated in a press conference that the recent attack by the Ukrainian army on Kursk caused the elimination of any possibility of negotiation. Zaharova accused Western leaders of supporting the 'crimes and acts of terrorism' committed by Kiev against civilians in the region. She claimed that the presence of foreign mercenaries and military equipment in Kursk, supported by the West, proved the complicity of Western countries in the occupation of the region. Zaharova also dismissed reports in Western media suggesting that NATO countries were not sharing intelligence with Kiev regarding targets in Russian territories. She accused NATO officials of trying to distance themselves from the 'terrorist acts' carried out by Kiev. Zaharova criticized Ukrainian authorities for finding 'flimsy and fabricated arguments' to justify their attacks on civilians in Kursk, stating that their actions have ruled out any possibility of negotiation. She emphasized that Ukraine's attempt to invade Russian territories has eliminated any chance of reaching an agreement with the 'gangster junta'.
