"They are going their own way, the regime is showing its essence. We need to go our own way and fulfill the tasks set," Peskov said.
Moscow's goal is to complete the special military operation in Ukraine, he noted.
On September 3, Zelensky said in an interview with NBC News that the Armed Forces of Ukraine (AFU) plan to hold the captured territories in the Kursk region.
"Ukraine will hold the territory, as this is an integral part of the victory plan to end the war," Volodymyr Zelensky said.
The US presidential administration had no knowledge about Ukraine's military operation in the Kursk region, Zelensky said adding that he could not discuss AFU's further plans on Russian territory due to the unsuccessful experience of the "advertised" counteroffensive last summer.
