The European turn is a positive development
As he said, the Kremlin has received messages from Rome, Paris and Berlin about the need for contacts, which he considers a positive development in the general Western attitude. However, he clarified that currently dialogue exists only with the United States and not with the European countries, which – as he said – have not yet officially approached Moscow to start talks.
The Kremlin spokesman also noted that, in Russia’s estimation, London shows no willingness to contribute to peace and stability on the European continent. He also underlined that any settlement of the Ukrainian issue cannot proceed without a broader discussion on the security architecture in Europe.
Finally, he reiterated that Russia remains open to negotiations on Ukraine and is interested in promoting such a process.
