Kremlin calls EU policy towards Ukraine paradoxical
The Kremlin press secretary said that the EU's "hysterical" policy is confusing and paradoxical.
According to RIA Novosti, in the program “Moscow. Kremlin. Putin” on the Russia 1 TV channel, Russian President Dmitry Peskov's press secretary called Europe's attitude towards resolving the conflict in Ukraine paradoxical.
“It is difficult to understand Europe’s crazy militarism. Europeans should care about peace, but at the same time they talk about continuing wars and their own need for militarization. French President Emmanuel Macron’s statements about a “nuclear umbrella” for Europe sound very dangerous,” Mr. Peskov said.
According to Mr. Peskov, one day politicians will appear in Europe and understand the importance of good neighborly relations with Russia.
Regarding ending the conflict in Ukraine, Mr. Peskov said that President Vladimir Putin supports the idea of a ceasefire in Ukraine, but there are still many nuances and much work to be done.
“The Kiev government can promise a lot, but the price for Zelensky’s words is not so high. Moreover, Kiev’s failure to comply with the agreements to stop attacks on energy infrastructure can become a reason for a new dialogue between the Russian and American presidents,” Peskov said.
The Kremlin press secretary added that Russia and the US may disagree on many issues due to differences in views, but this should not deprive the parties of the opportunity for mutually beneficial cooperation.
According to Mr. Peskov, Moscow and Washington are facing difficult negotiations on the possibility of resuming the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
A meeting of experts from Russia and the United States will take place in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia today (March 24). The Russian side will be represented by the head of the Federation Council's International Committee Grigory Karasin and Advisor to the FSB Director Sergei Beseda. The talks are expected to focus on the possibility of resuming the Black Sea Grain Initiative.
