The Ukrainian minister ridiculed Peskov’s claims, and speculated about what Moscow's next claims might be.
"In the next episodes: Virtually all the tasks of the ‘special military operation’ will have been completed," Kuleba said ironically.
“Ukraine, as a member of the EU and NATO, will not be able to attack Russia, Crimea is no longer a burden for the Russian budget, the Nazis are confined to Russia, and the losses of Russian soldiers and equipment in Ukraine, which we will not tell anyone about, helped us correct our mistakes and make Russia stronger. Russia is stronger than ever.”

Kuleba also gave advice to Kyiv's partners and said that Russian dictator Vladimir Putin will be able to explain to Russians both the loss of Crimea and the loss of Ukraine.
"The main thing for partners is not to be afraid of global changes and not to stop supporting Ukraine," Kuleba concluded.
“Life without modern Russia is possible. And we’re working every day on new weapons for the Ukrainian defense forces, on strengthening the global coalition in support of the Peace Formula and on restoring Ukraine. All this will come.”
Earlier, Peskov stated that Russia’s supposed task of achieving the "demilitarization" of Ukraine had largely been accomplished.
Ukraine has been receiving copious supplies of Western military aid since shortly after Russia launched its attempted invasion and regime-change bid on Feb. 24, 2022. In particular, while Russia started the full-scale war with a massive advantage in tank numbers, Ukraine is estimated to have achieved parity in this regard due to Russian tank losses.
Prior to that, Putin made a vague, oxymoronic statement about the purpose of Russia's attack on Ukraine, saying the country “could change or remain the same simultaneously.”
