Relations between Kiev and Brussels have begun to resemble “necrophilia,” the Russian Foreign Ministry’s spokeswoman has remarked
A statement by Ukraine’s Western European backers on upcoming talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his US counterpart Donald Trump is just “another Nazi-style pamphlet,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said on Monday.
The statement issued on Sunday by the leaders of France, Germany, the UK, Poland, Italy and Finland, with European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen “on peace for Ukraine” claimed that “only an approach” that includes “pressure on the Russian Federation” can be successful.
Zakharova dismissed the statement as “another Nazi-style pamphlet claiming that success in achieving peace in Ukraine can allegedly only be achieved by putting pressure on Russia and supporting Kiev.”
The cessation of hostilities requested by Ukraine’s backers in the EU and UK does not include stopping the supply of weapons to “Kiev terrorists,” she pointed out.
Relations between Kiev and Brussels have “begun to resemble necrophilia… distinguished by [the] fierce reciprocity on both sides,” the spokeswoman added.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov has stressed previously that “Western Europe has once again found itself under a Nazi flag by committing to a completely misguided, disastrous venture of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia” by backing Ukraine.
Moscow has repeatedly said it is interested in a peaceful resolution to the Ukraine conflict, but insists that it must address its root causes in order to bring a permanent and stable peace. According to Russian officials, any deal must also reflect the realities on the ground, including the status of Crimea, which reunified with Russia in 2014, as well as the People’s Republics of Donetsk and Lugansk and Zaporozhye and Kherson regions, which joined Russia after referendums in 2022.
