Prerogative of new Ukrainian army chief not peace — Kremlin
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Ukraine's newly appointed commander-in-chief, Mikhail Drapaty, and others like him will do everything possible to prevent peaceful settlement. Drapaty is on Russia's wanted list and faces charges from the Russian Investigative Committee.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on July 24 that Ukraine's newly appointed commander-in-chief, Mikhail Drapaty, and others like him will do everything possible to prevent Kyiv from reaching a peaceful settlement to the conflict, according to TASS.
Peskov comments came after a video surfaced in the media showing Drapaty referring to Russians as "a nation that has no right to exist" and describing residents of Donbas as "a contingent with no desire to work that does not care what country they live in." In the same interview, Drapaty claimed that people in the Donetsk and Lugansk People's Republics had to be re-educated to share Ukrainian nationalist ideas.
The Kremlin spokesman told TV reporter Pavel Zarubin that Drapaty and others like him would do everything they can to ensure that no representative of the Kyiv regime takes any steps toward peaceful solutions. Peskov added that Drapaty would have to answer for his words.

Each row is one claim, attributed to the outlet whose wording states it most clearly. Confidence rates how directly the source text states the claim — explicit and unhedged rates high; hedged, pieced-together, or internally inconsistent statements rate lower. It does not measure whether the claim is true. Status counts the distinct outlets we found asserting it — so a single-source claim can still show high confidence, and a multi-source claim can show medium. Every one of those outlets is named beside the status, so you can check the count against the list. For claims extracted before we began storing that list, the row says so: it names the outlet the claim is quoted from and states that we have not recorded which outlets backed it. Outlets wrote at different times, so a figure that evolves — a casualty count, for example — can legitimately differ between rows; check the "as of" time next to each claim's source.
