Russia ensures that the Ukrainian president, Volodímir Zelenskihe demonstrated with his strong discussion at the White House his “Total lack” of diplomatic skills and who does not want to end the war against Russia. “Zelenski does not want to peace. He wants to continue the war“said Monday Dmitri Peskovspokesman for Kremlin, at his daily telephone press conference.
Peskov, who has described the encounter between Zelenski and Trump as a made “unprecedented”look complicated to achieve a solution in Ukraine after this, ensuring that there are only two parts involved right now to obtain peace. “The scenario to resolve the Ukrainian conflict is not easy. Obviously, it will not be enough with Washington’s efforts and Moscow’s disposition”he commented.
He has also stated, in response to the new European initiative for the arrangement in Ukraine, to finance the Ukrainian army is not a peace plan: “There (in London) statements were heard about the need to urgently guarantee a higher level of financing for Ukraine. That clearly It is not for a peace planbut, surely, for the Continuation of military and hostilities actions“.
On the contrary, he suggests that someone, including the European Union, must “press” the Ukrainian leader to change his attitude. “Now Constructive initiatives are needed For peace. It is very important that someone forces Zelenski himself to change his position. He doesn’t want peace. Someone must force him to want peace, “he proposed.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, Keir Starmerwho received a visibly excited Zelenski on Saturday in London with a warm hug, said that To take the president of the United States, Donald Trump. “We are preparing a plan to stop fighting and then we will discuss that plan with the United States. I think we have taken a step in the right direction,” he said.
However, Peskov believes it is complicated that an agreement is reached, since it considers that the European leaders will need to “make great effort” with Washington to eliminate the “unpleasant residue” of the Zelenski meeting with Trump. However, he has apostilled that, if they manage to find a solution, it would be positive.
Regarding the kyiv’s negative to accept the illegal annexation of its territories by RussiaPeskov has assured that Zelenski has also evidenced his inability to “accept reality in the field.” “Only a blind might not see it, and only a deaf might not want to listen to it.”he added.
Negotiations between Russia and the US are maintained
In any case, the Kremlin spokesman stressed that Moscow will continue with the negotiations with Washington, initiated in mid -February in Riyadh, to normalize their bilateral relations.
The Russian media have reacted with satisfaction with the tense discussion between Zelenski and Trump, since they consider that it validates Putin’s words about the Ukrainian president as a “toxic leader.”
