Putin Threatens Force if Ukraine Rejects Peace Talks

Russia's President Vladimir Putin visits a command post for the joint force grouping on Dec. 27, 2025.

Putin accused Ukraine of avoiding diplomatic dialogue and insisted that Russia would continue its military campaign until all of its stated goals are met. Russian military officials reported recent territorial gains in the Donetsk region, which the Kremlin framed as evidence of continued momentum.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy dismissed Putin’s remarks, arguing that the latest attacks show Russia has no genuine interest in peace. Kyiv maintains that any negotiations must respect Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity—conditions Russia has repeatedly rejected.

The exchange comes as Ukraine prepares for a new round of international diplomacy aimed at securing additional support and exploring potential paths toward ending the conflict.
