MOSCOW, November 24. /TASS/. The administration of outgoing US President Joe Biden is trying to escalate the situation in Ukraine to frustrate any attempts by his successor Donald Trump's to settle the conflict, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with television host Pavel Zarubin.

"Trump said during his campaign that he was going to somehow secure peace and set everyone on a path of peace. So what they're trying to do is escalate the situation to the point where those peace terms are doomed to fail in advance," the spokesman told the reporter from the All-Russian State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company.

According to the Kremlin spokesman, the Biden administration continues escalation because it is a "party of war" that sees Ukraine as a tool to fight Russia.

"The Biden administration is a party of war. They are war hawks. They have repeatedly demonstrated that they want and will do everything to keep this war going," Peskov said.
