Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed the hope that stopping American supplies of weapons can contribute to the peaceful process in Ukraine.
The suspension of US aid for Ukraine after the dispute between Ukrainian President Volodymyr Greeny and White House chief Donald Trump is the best contribution to peace, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said on Tuesday. According to TASS and AFP reports, TASR reports this.
Trump’s administration announced on Monday that with immediate validity he was suspending military assistance for Kiev. These are weapons worth hundreds of millions of dollars, the New York Times said.
US weapons to the Ukrainians greatly helped
“If the United States (really) stops (military supplies), it will probably be the best contribution to peace,” Peskov said. At the same time, he stressed that “this solution could actually be pushed by the Kiev regime to proceed to the peace process,” writes AFP. “We will see how the situation will develop,” the spokesman said.
The United States has been the main military supplier of Ukraine since the beginning of the war, but it cannot be ruled out that Europe will now increase its deliveries, Peskov recalled. “We see that some European countries are committed to continuing comprehensive aid. In some way, they will try to compensate for reduced ammunition supplies and other stocks. However, the largest aid was came from the United States. So we’ll see, “said the Kremlin spokesman by TASS.
At the same time, the Kremlin said on Tuesday that the abolition of US economic sanctions against Russia is a prerequisite for normalizing relations between countries, AFP said.
