Russian lawmaker: 鈥楻ussia will not give up on Ukraine鈥�
Peace talks between Ukraine and Russia have so far yielded little respite. Earlier, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he did not see 鈥渁ny signs鈥� that Vladimir Putin was 鈥減repared to stop鈥� the war in Ukraine.
Mikhail Matveyev is a Communist Party member of the Russian parliament, or the State Duma. He previously argued against the Kremlin鈥檚 military action in Ukraine but that was before Russia criminalised criticism of what it calls its 鈥渟pecial operation鈥�.
He tells 蜜芽传媒 Newsday that he does not see the conflict ending any time soon: 鈥淚 see that sacrifices from both sides make both Russia and Ukraine want to continue with this conflict鈥�.
