The Kremlin has dismissed the possibility of freezing the conflict in Ukraine, a proposal initially suggested by Kazakhstan's President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated on Saturday that Ukraine’s current position makes a frozen conflict unfeasible. This indicates Russia views Kyiv as unwilling to agree to such terms. The Kremlin’s statement suggests a continued expectation of active combat or further negotiations aimed at a more comprehensive resolution. The rejection also implies a divergence in perspectives on the path toward de-escalation between Moscow and Nur-Sultan. This development casts doubt on the viability of the Kazakh proposal as a near-term solution to the ongoing hostilities. The Kremlin did not elaborate on alternative pathways to resolving the crisis.
