Dmitry Peskov asserts that negotiations regarding the potential end of the war in Ukraine "are quite difficult." The Kremlin thus contradicts Donald Trump's assurances. "We’ll see what happens — but I think it’s going well," said the American president.
Many reports provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. These reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
What do you need to know?
- Negotiations regarding the potential end of the war in Ukraine are difficult, says Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Vladimir Putin.
- These statements contradict the assurances of Donald Trump.
- The American president assured that he would "end the war in 24 hours."
What are the main obstacles in the negotiations?
Peskov argues that talks regarding the Ukrainian conflict are quite sluggish. According to the Kremlin, an obstacle to reaching an agreement between Moscow and Washington is the actions of European countries. "As long as we focus on our contacts with the Americans, things are quite difficult," stated Peskov.
- If Moscow and Washington talk about peace, European capitals suddenly become war hawks, pressing for the continuation of military activities, - accuses Putin's spokesman, quoted by the Kremlin agency RIA Novosti.
Trump on talks with Russia
The words from the Kremlin contradict Donald Trump's narrative: "I think the relationship between Ukraine and Russia can develop normally, and you’ll find out about that very soon."
"There’s a point at which you have to either put up or shut up, and we’ll see what happens — but I think it’s going well," argued the American president on Saturday.
