WorldKremlin: Idea of excluding Russia from Ukraine talks shows EU deadlock
The Kremlin says the idea of leaving Russia out of talks on Ukraine demonstrates what it describes as the European Union’s deadlocked position. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov emphasized that Ukraine’s security guarantees cannot be arranged without Russia. His comments link the question of who participates in negotiations directly to the possibility of providing such guarantees. The statement therefore centers on Russia’s role in any future discussion of Ukraine’s security.
