Dmitri Peskov, the presidential spokesperson, confirmed that plans for a special military operation will persist due to this admission.<\/p>\n<h3>Official Recognition of Incomplete Objectives<\/h3>\n<p>Peskov conceded that the Russian military has not reached all its initial goals since the conflict began on <b>February 24, 2022<\/b>. Despite this grim acknowledgement, he stated that the military succeeded in ensuring the safety of people in Eastern Ukraine, a point that President <b>Volodymyr Zelensky<\/b> refuted.<\/p>\n<p>According to Peskov, the war&#8217;s dynamics have escalated into a broader conflict with Western nations, complicating the situation beyond Ukraine&#8217;s borders.<\/p>\n<h3>Continued Military Operations and Political Aspirations<\/h3>\n<p>While Peskov asserted that military operations would continue, he also claimed that Russia remains open to diplomatic negotiations to resolve the situation. He suggested that the Kremlin\u2019s willingness to engage in dialogue honors Russia&#8217;s interests but simultaneously highlighted the need for actions from the <b>Kyiv regime<\/b> to advance peace.<\/p>\n<p>Despite ongoing conflict, Peskov insisted that dialogue has never been off the table and remains a prominent aspect of Russia&#8217;s agenda.<\/p>\n<h3>Social Sentiment Amidst the Conflict<\/h3>\n<p>Internal reports indicate a discrepancy between the government\u2019s claims and public sentiment. Many Russians reportedly favor an immediate halt to hostilities, revealing a growing social fatigue towards the prolonged confrontation.<\/p>\n<div class=\"visual__image\"><picture><source  media=\"(min-width: 1000px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 768px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 580px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 350px)\"\/><source  media=\"(min-width: 80px)\"\/><img alt=\"The Kremlin attributes the extension\" class=\"global-image\" decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"low\" height=\"1280\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/teknomers.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/1771933725_876_Putin-Wants-More-Russia-Acknowledges-Failure-to-Achieve-Key-Objectives.jpg\" width=\"1920\"\/><\/picture><figcaption class=\"article-figcaption-img\">The Kremlin attributes the prolongation of the conflict to the direct intervention of Western European countries and the United States in the war in Ukraine (EUROPA PRESS\/ARCHIVE)<\/figcaption><\/div>\n<h3>Human and Material Costs of the War<\/h3>\n<p>Independent media estimate that the Russian military has suffered over <b>200,000 casualties<\/b>, marking one of the highest loss rates since World War II.
