Kremlin: "If Peace Is Impossible, We Will Fight With All Our Might"

Russia has declared its intention to continue fighting with all its might until a peace agreement is reached with Ukraine.

Dmitry Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin of Russia, said in an interview with the state-run Vesti TV on October 4 (local time), "As President Putin has stated, we want peace and prefer to achieve it through peaceful means," he said, adding this stance.

He continued, "But as long as that is not possible, we will fight, and fight with all our strength," warning, "Those who plan to inflict a fatal blow on Russia will pay the price, just as Ukraine has."

Peskov further stated, "We are trapped in a vicious cycle," but stressed, "In a situation where discussions and negotiations are impossible, this is the only way to achieve our national interests."

Regarding the recent pressure from NATO member states in Europe to blockade Kaliningrad, a Russian exclave, Peskov warned, "This is Russian territory, and, as hardliners in Poland and other countries have said, it has been made clear that if any threat is posed, Russia will mobilize all available weapons systems."
