Vladimir Putin on Tuesday accused European countries of undermining Washington’s efforts to end the war in Ukraine, as US envoy Steve Witkoff held talks with the Russian president in Moscow.
Putin said on Tuesday: “They [the Europeans] have no peace agenda. They are on the side of war. And even when they try to make supposed adjustments to [Donald] Trump’s proposal, it is clear that these changes aim at one purpose: to block the entire peace process.”
Speaking at the “Russia Calling!” investment forum in Moscow, he added: “They put forward demands they know are entirely unacceptable for Russia, and then aim to pin the collapse of the peace process on us.”
