Russian Security Council Secretary Sergei Shoigu reiterated the Kremlin's unchanged position on ending the war in Ukraine during a meeting of Shanghai Cooperation Organization representatives in Kyrgyzstan. Shoigu stated that lasting peace cannot be achieved without fulfilling Moscow's key demands, reinforcing Russia's hardline stance on any potential peace negotiations. The comments came at a gathering of the SCO, a China and Russia-led regional security bloc that includes several Central Asian nations and serves as a counterweight to Western-led international organizations.
