The Russian government has maintained that a significant reduction or complete halt in the supply of Western arms to Ukraine would bring the ongoing conflict closer to resolution. Speaking from Moscow, authorities reiterated their long-standing position that continued military support from NATO allies and European countries has been a major factor prolonging hostilities in the region.
According to official statements, Russian officials argue that the influx of advanced weaponry and military logistics from the West has emboldened Kyiv to adopt a more aggressive stance, thereby undermining diplomatic efforts and extending the duration of the war. They insist that if foreign military assistance were curtailed, Ukraine would be more likely to return to the negotiating table, opening the door for peace talks and de-escalation.
Moscow’s remarks come amid fresh discussions in the international community over the long-term sustainability of arms supplies to Ukraine, especially in the face of growing political and economic pressures in donor countries. Russia continues to portray the West’s involvement as an obstacle to peace, accusing the United States and its allies of using the conflict as a geopolitical tool.
While Ukraine and its Western supporters argue that the arms deliveries are essential for defending territorial sovereignty and repelling Russian aggression, the Kremlin maintains that such actions only deepen the crisis. As diplomatic channels remain strained, the prospect of a ceasefire or peace agreement appears distant, with both sides holding firm to their narratives.
From Moscow, Dasha Chernyshova reports that Russian officials are intensifying their calls on the international community to reassess the consequences of prolonged military intervention, warning that sustained external support for Ukraine could escalate the war further rather than end it.
