The press secretary of the Russian dictator Dmitry Peskov said that the big mistake of the Ukrainian side is its course of intransigence.
This was reported by "Komersant Ukrainian" with reference to Russian media, which quoted the official.
He noted that the “European Party of War” is sticking to its plans, and their position is in stark contrast to the opinion of Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart Donald Trump. He emphasized that his efforts in this context can hardly be overestimated, and Russia is grateful for this contribution.
“The Europeans are hindering these efforts, putting spokes in the wheels,” he added.
The spokesman noted that European representatives are encouraging “Kyiv in an absolutely absurd line of intransigence,” and this is a big mistake. According to him, the Ukrainian side will not benefit from such a position, and on the contrary, it will make the situation even worse for Kyiv.
Peskov emphasized that the Russian side maintains its attitude and expresses its readiness to reach a settlement through political and diplomatic means, but currently Russia does not see reciprocity in this matter and continues to conduct the special operation.
