Speaker Criticizes EU Role in Ukraine Peace Talks

There were also representatives of the European Union, European countries.

Please tell me, did you talk to them? Are there any meetings with them on the agenda?

No, we didn't talk to them. We, in fact, failed to understand in what status they are here.

This is a trilateral meeting. And as for the position of the leadership of some EU countries, essentially what they're doing is mass deception of the Ukrainian people.

They arm and supply with weapons one of the belligerent parties.

At the same time, they essentially encourage mass casualties among peaceful and civilian populations.

So we don't understand what we can discuss with them.

Not a single peace initiative, not a single peace offer has emerged from the European side.

So we don't understand what we can discuss with them.

But if they have come here as tourists, well, they are free to hang out in the lobby bar at the hotel.

When they have any specific propositions, we will consider them.

But so far, I think they could take a book out of the American envoy's page regarding common sense and realism and the desire to achieve peace.
