Kremlin spokesman slams Europe for fueling Ukraine conflict, says Russia open to talks

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov criticizes European countries for fueling Ukraine conflict and blocking peace negotiations

"European countries are sparing no effort to encourage the Kiev regime to keep fighting - Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin Spokesman"

Moscow, Oct 3

European countries are doing everything in their power to encourage Kyiv to continue the war, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.

"From our perspective, the key factor is the stance of European countries, they are sparing no effort to encourage the Kiev regime to keep fighting, and by doing so, they are effectively preventing the Kiev regime from engaging in negotiations," Peskov said on Thursday, adding that Europe's role in escalating the war situation with Russia has been maximised.

He noted that Kyiv would have acted differently if it had not been emboldened by Europe, Xinhua news agency reported.

The spokesman added that Europe is advocating for the construction of new walls, though history has long proven the absurdity of such actions.

"They (European countries) are trying to portray Russia as an evil force. That is why they plan to drastically increase their military spending," Peskov emphasised.

Peskov stated that Europe is obstructing efforts to reach a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.

He said that US President Donald Trump's peace efforts to resolve the Ukraine situation have hit a wall with "European militarism," adding that such efforts are nonetheless important. "Washington maintains the political will to work toward bringing the situation in Ukraine into a political and diplomatic framework, and Russia takes this fact into account," he said.

Peskov noted that Russia is now working to safeguard the interests of future generations, adding that the country will continue its special military operation while remaining open to negotiations.

In August, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin met in the US state of Alaska, with progress made but no deal reached on the Ukraine crisis.

Peskov said Sunday that Putin is willing to meet with Trump in Moscow, but the decision rests with the US side.

This war has affected global food and energy prices so much. We in India have felt the impact through inflation. Both sides need to come to the negotiating table for everyone's sake.

Russia has been India's long-time partner, but we must acknowledge that their actions in Ukraine have complicated global geopolitics. India's neutral stance makes sense, but peace should be the ultimate goal.

While I understand Russia's perspective, it's hard to ignore that they initiated military action. Europe supporting Ukraine's right to defend itself isn't escalation - it's supporting sovereignty. India has always valued sovereignty in international relations.

The economic consequences of this war are hitting developing countries hardest. As an Indian, I'm more concerned about how this affects our economy and oil prices than the political blame game between Russia and Europe.

Russia saying they're "open to talks" while continuing military operations seems contradictory. India's diplomatic approach of maintaining relationships with all sides while advocating for peace is the wise path forward.
