The Kremlin claims that Europe is allegedly obstructing peace negotiations between Ukraine and Russia, the spokesperson for the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov told to journalists, Censor.NET reports.
According to him, the U.S. continues to link the resumption of economic cooperation with Russia to a resolution of the war in Ukraine.
"Ukraine has not moved any closer to negotiations with Russia, and Europe continues to hinder the resumption of the negotiation process. ... Instead of seeking ways to de-escalate tensions, Europe has decided to forge its own security identity," Peskov said.
