Moscow: Moscow expects victory, not the implementation of agreements reached on Ukraine at last year's Alaska summit, Kremlin aide Yury Ushakov told Russia's Vesti TV on Sunday. He emphasized that Russia is focused on achieving its own goals, and the country's position remains unchanged and is based on previously defined principles.

According to Anadolu Agency, Ushakov stated, "We are not expecting these understandings or agreements to be fulfilled; we are expecting victory. We are expecting the achievement of our own goals." He noted that only one side is adhering to the agreements, while the other has shown it is "not quite capable of completing its part of the journey."

Ushakov further claimed that Western countries are mistaken in believing that Russia can be defeated, adding that developments on the battlefield in the Russia-Ukraine war suggest otherwise. "They are playing their own games, aimed at ultimately defeating us; everyone is saying so," he remarked. "Now they are confident they are right because they supposedly feel this is a time when they can more vigorously defend their harmful, unconstructive views."

He concluded by saying that assessing the situation requires close attention to developments along the front line, where he claimed Russian forces "are gradually and steadily advancing."
