A new front opens between and, on the occasion of the statements of German Chancellor Friedrich during a meeting with Ukrainian President Volodimir Zelenski in Berlin for a joint German -large -scale missile production. The decision to cooperate, as well as the removal of obstacles to the use of such weapons systems on the Ukrainian side in the war -in which Germany was opposed until recently -immediately threatened the Kremlin.
Shortly after the announcements were made by Mertz, Kremlin’s spokesman Dimitri Peskov made it clear that Moscow considers the decision to be “dangerous and irresponsible”, arguing that such decisions are only to feed and prolong it.
This development comes as the pressure on Russia to agree on a truce that will pave the way for a Ukrainian settlement is rising sharply, while increasing the intensity of conflict and front.
An indication of the situation on the ground as it is formed is that Russia has taken a three -day barrage by hitting Ukraine cities, while at the same time, according to Zelenski during his visit to Germany, he has gathered 50,000 troops near Sumi.
Stable in its commitment to producing a opposite narrative, Moscow accused Ukraine of significantly intensifying attacks with unmanned aircraft and missiles on Russian territory last week, even arguing that it used the attacks that the West was supplied for the attacks.
Russian window for negotiations
Despite the overall climate of tension, Russia itself appears to have rejected the possibility of a new round of negotiations, which could, as Peskov said (after Hakan Fidan’s visit to Moscow) would be re -in Constantinople.
In addition the Vladimir Mentinsky, head of the Russian delegation in the peace talks on Ukraine, said today that he had sent proposals to Ukraine with a date and place for the exchange of memorandums or terms to end conflict.
He also said in the Telegram messaging application that she is expecting an answer and that the Russian delegation is ready to meet with her Ukrainian counterpart face to face in the coming days.
