Where the versions diverge

Both sides relay Peskov's quote in the same way. The headlines differ: RIA Novosti headlines that a settlement is impossible "without Kyiv" and TASS "without Kyiv's participation", with the caveat about someone ready to take responsibility given further down; Ukrainska Pravda, by contrast, puts exactly that caveat in its headline. Neither Peskov himself nor the sources in the sample specify whom he means. The remark that Moscow highly values US mediation is presented by the Russian agencies as a separate news item and by the Ukrainian outlet as part of the same quote. There are no independent reports in the sample.

What Russia reports

automatic summary Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov, answering reporters' question whether Moscow sees a possibility of a peace settlement without Ukraine's direct participation in the talks, said the American side is continuing its mediation and peacemaking efforts and Russia "highly values" them, but a final settlement "without the participation of someone from Kyiv who is ready to take responsibility is impossible" (RIA Novosti, TASS, Interfax). RIA Novosti paraphrases this as a settlement being impossible without the participation of a representative of Kyiv ready to take responsibility, and TASS as "someone in Ukraine must take on this responsibility". RIA Novosti and TASS ran the remarks on US mediation as separate items.

“американская сторона продолжает свои усилия посреднические, миротворческие. Мы высоко их ценим”

“окончательное урегулирование без участия кого-то из Киева, кто готов взять на себя ответственность, невозможно”

Interfax, original: Russian

“Окончательное урегулирование конфликта на Украине невозможно без участия представителя Киева, готового взять на себя ответственность”

“Кто-то на Украине должен взять на себя эту ответственность”

“США продолжают посреднические усилия по урегулированию на Украине”

What Ukraine reports

automatic summary Ukrainska Pravda, citing Russian media, quotes Peskov in full: the American side is continuing its mediation and peacemaking efforts, "which we highly value", but a final settlement "without the participation of someone from Kyiv who is ready to take responsibility is impossible". This was his answer to the question whether the Russian side sees a possibility of a settlement without representatives of Kyiv taking part in the talks. The outlet puts the wording about "someone responsible" from Kyiv in its headline.

“американська сторона продовжує свої посередницькі та миротворчі зусилля, які ми високо цінуємо”

“остаточне врегулювання без участі когось із Києва, хто готовий взяти на себе відповідальність, неможливе”
