Kremlin says Ukraine is now 'paying the price' for its own attacks on Russia
The Kremlin said Moscow’s forces will keep striking targets in Ukraine as Peskov linked the attacks to recent Ukrainian raids on Russia.
On Monday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said arms control negotiations between Russia and the United States are "long overdue," adding such talks should have restarted "yesterday."
President Donald Trump recently advocated for trilateral arms control negotiations involving the United States, Russia, and China, prompting Moscow's statement despite disagreements over the conflict in Ukraine blocking meaningful diplomatic progress.
Peskov confirmed China has repeatedly declined participation, citing its smaller nuclear arsenal; Beijing maintains such talks are unnecessary, a stance Moscow acknowledges remains unchanged despite Washington's pressure.
The Kremlin warned Ukraine on Monday that Kyiv will "pay a price" for "actions that have taken place in recent months," as Peskov added Russian forces continue striking targets they "consider appropriate."
Russian strikes against civilian infrastructure, including data centers, have intensified throughout September; Moscow claims it remains open to settling the 4.5-year-old conflict if terms align with Russia's interests.
Kremlin SPOKESMAN Dmitry Peskov said that Ukraine will "pay the price" for its actions. In response to the alleged attacks, Russia carried out new strikes on Kyiv and Dnipro.
