Kremlin denies Trump's claims of swift peace with Ukraine
Dmitry Peskov argues that negotiations on the possible end of the war in Ukraine are "proving quite difficult." The Kremlin thus refutes Donald Trump's assurances. "We’ll see what happens — but I think it’s going well," said the American president.
Many of the reports provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the information war conducted by the Russian Federation.
What do you need to know?
- Negotiations on the possible end of the war in Ukraine are difficult, claims Dmitry Peskov, spokesman for Vladimir Putin.
- These words contradict Donald Trump's assurances.
- The American president argued 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 progressing quite slowly. According to the Kremlin, the obstacles to an agreement between Moscow and Washington include the actions of European countries. "As long as we focus on our contacts with the Americans, things are going quite difficultly," Peskov stated.
"If Moscow and Washington are talking about peace, then European capitals have suddenly become war hawks, pressing for the continuation of hostilities," accuses Putin's spokesman, as quoted by the Kremlin's RIA Novosti agency.
Trump on talks with Russia
The words coming from the Kremlin contradict Donald Trump's account. "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.
