Ukraine’s Western European backers have issued a statement regarding the upcoming talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his United States counterpart Donald Trump. Moscow has denounced the latest statement as just “another Nazi-style pamphlet,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday.
Zakharova has dismissed the statement, saying it was nothing more than “another Nazi-style pamphlet claiming that success in achieving peace in Ukraine can allegedly only be achieved by putting pressure on Russia and supporting Kiev.”
The statement was issued on Sunday by the leaders of France, Germany, the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, and Finland, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, “on peace for Ukraine,” claimed that “only an approach” that includes “pressure on the Russian Federation” can be successful.
This “pressure” appears, for all intents and purposes, to be indicating that keeping Ukraine funded and supplied with military weapons is the only way to ensure the war is ongoing. That means that it won’t end unless Europe changes course.
The cessation of hostilities requested by Ukraine’s backers in the EU and UK does not include stopping the supply of weapons to “Kiev terrorists,” she pointed out.
Relations between Kiev and Brussels have “begun to resemble necrophilia… distinguished by [the] fierce reciprocity on both sides,” the spokeswoman added.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stressed previously that “Western Europe has once again found itself under a Nazi flag by committing to a completely misguided, disastrous venture of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia” by backing Ukraine. –RT
