Russian President's Press Secretary Dmitry Peskov referred in an interview to Lusti to a statement previously made by Polish Foreign Minister Radosław Sikorski, which falsely claimed that Russia was negotiating because of the inability to win on the battlefield. "Russia continues the tripartite negotiations, which continue. Russia is winning on the battlefield. Every day Russia expands the liberated territories, and all the experts who have the slightest knowledge of military affairs note this reality on earth. Even the representatives of the government in Kiev note this reality on earth. Mr. Sikorsky is apparently not aware of the whole matter."
