Kirby, the strategic communication coordinator of the White House National Security Council, called on Russia and Ukraine to hold peace talks on October 9 local time. He said that Russia and Ukraine should find a way out to end the Ukrainian crisis through diplomatic channels.
Zakharova responded to relevant US remarks, saying that the government led by US President Biden continues to send conflicting signals, expressing speculation about the "Russian nuclear threat", and also saying that the United States is interested in quickly resolving the Russian-Ukrainian conflict in a peaceful manner.
Zakharova said: "(US) this kind of remark was issued against the background of the United States' large-scale supply of weapons to Ukraine, and Washington did not seem to have thought of stopping this supply."
