Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova criticized comments made by Ukrainian Parliament Chairman Ruslan Stefanchuk, who stated that the war would end only when Ukraine regains control of Crimea. Zakharova responded that Kyiv “does not need the war to end,” claiming Ukrainian leaders know they cannot reclaim the peninsula. Her remarks come amid continued tensions and conflicting narratives from Moscow and Kyiv. The statements have not been independently verified.
