00:00The news overseas, the peace pact between Kiev and Moscow, which Trump has brokered

00:05is off to a slow start with a concession on both sides to halt attacks in the Baltic Sea.

00:10Eventually, Moscow will insist on keeping the land it seized from Ukraine and its list

00:15of non-negotiables, like no NATO membership for Ukraine ever, among others.

00:20VOA's Jeff Kuster narrates this report from Moscow.

00:25Moscow this week suffered the biggest Ukrainian drone attack since the start of the war, leaving

00:29at least three dead and 17 injured.

00:32Many Muscovites are trying to ignore the war, but many also hope that negotiations between

00:36the Kremlin and the new U.S. administration will soon bring a peace that Russians consider

00:41a victory.

00:42Officials say the goal is international recognition of the new borders that the Russian army has

00:46obtained by force.

00:48It is clear that there will be a bilateral settlement between us and Kiev.

00:53It should be a peace treaty that will legalize the new borders of Russia and the post-Soviet

00:59borders of Ukraine.

01:00Many in Moscow are already celebrating the new geopolitical scenario before the conflict

01:05is ended.

01:06This is a real victory.

01:08You can open champagne.

01:09Also, it cannot be lost.

01:11Russia must continue the offensive because no one canceled the ambitions of the United

01:15States.

01:16Yes, they are afraid of us, but it does not mean that they abandoned their idea of a world

01:20empire.

01:23After more than three years of war, independent media outlet MediaZona counts more than 95,000

01:28Russian casualties, but these losses are not stopping the Kremlin from carrying on

01:32with the war.

01:33In a meeting with wives and mothers of deceased soldiers, Russian President Vladimir Putin

01:38said there would be no concessions.

01:41We are not going to do that.

01:43We must choose for ourselves a version of the world that would suit us and that would

01:47ensure peace for our country for a long historical perspective.

01:53Critics of Putin can only speak from exile.

01:55As they see it, the Kremlin could make concessions, but giving up its territorial ambitions is

02:00out of the question.

02:04Compromises can be presented on some other issues related to how the Ukrainian security

02:08architecture will be formed after the war.

02:12Moscow wants to be a participant in the formation of this new Ukrainian security architecture

02:17and in fact to describe what can be done and what cannot be done.

02:22Ukrainian officials are looking forward to a meeting with U.S. officials following the

02:25talks between U.S. and Ukrainian negotiating teams in Saudi Arabia.

02:29So far, there is no such gathering in sight.

02:32Jeff Custer, VOA News.
