Kremlin claims Russia has held no talks with Europe on a security agreement
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia has had no contact with European countries over a security agreement, although U.S. representatives have discussed the issue with European governments.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov firmly stated that Russia has not engaged in any discussions with European nations regarding a security agreement. Peskov made this assertion to the Russian propaganda outlet Izvestia. He emphasized that the United States and European governments have had conversations about the matter. Peskov highlighted that Europe remains unable to decide on a negotiator to engage in talks with Russia.
U.S. President Donald Trump had expressed optimism about reaching a "big deal" concerning Ukraine during a press conference on November 5. Trump claimed that the deal would encompass more than just Ukraine and could potentially involve the entire European continent. Peskov acknowledged the necessity of discussions on security guarantees for Ukraine and Russia, as well as the future of Europe's security architecture.
However, he criticized Europe's prolonged indecision and lack of willingness to engage in dialogue with Moscow. An upcoming trilateral meeting involving Ukraine, Russia, and the United States is scheduled for Abu Dhabi next week. This meeting will be led by Vladimir Medinsky, who will represent Russia. Ukraine's Foreign Ministry interpreted the forthcoming trilateral negotiations as potential preparations for a meeting between the leaders of the respective countries.
