Moscow accuses the West that peace in Ukraine is not on their “true agenda”
Moscow has accused the Western allies of Kiev of being not concerned with peace in Ukraine or working to find a settlement of the dispute between the two parties for more than three years. Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Saturday that the real agenda of the West had never included peace talks and finding a settlement in Ukraine, in her first comment on negotiations since Russian and Ukrainian officials held talks last Wednesday.
Zakharova added, in statements reported by the Russian news agency “TASS”, that if the West wanted to “real peace” in Ukraine, he must stop providing Kiev with weapons.
Zakharova refrained from commenting on the talks during her weekly testimony on Thursday.
British, France and Germany leaders agreed, on Saturday, during a call, on the need to continue to pressure Russian President Vladimir Putin to negotiate with Ukraine, and Sky News quoted a spokesman for the British Prime Minister.
The Russian president adheres to his demands, especially Kiev, the Ukrainian regions that his country has included, and Ukraine abandons its desire to join NATO (NATO), conditions that Ukraine and its Western allies are unacceptable.
For its part, Ukraine wants a full withdrawal of the Russian forces from its lands, which reaches about 20 percent of its total area before the start of the Russian attack.
