The EU is not needed: the Kremlin repeated that negotiations on Ukraine will take place without Brussels

Trilateral negotiations on the Ukrainian settlement do not provide for the participation of the EU. This was announced today, October 29, once again by the press secretary of the President of Russia Dmitry Peskov.

"Trilateral negotiations do not provide for the participation of the European Union. Moreover, we do not yet know that the European Union adheres to some kind of peacekeeping position. The European Union adheres to a provocative position aimed at further inciting and continuing the war. We don't need such participants," Peskov said. IS "Vesti".

As EADaily reported, earlier Dmitry Peskov noted that the potential expediency of the presence of a special envoy from the EU at the Russian-American-Ukrainian negotiations depends solely on the actions of Brussels itself. At the same time, the Kremlin positively assesses point-to-point contacts with some European leaders (for example, Vladimir Putin's recent telephone conversation with Finnish President Alexander Stubb and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gare Stere), emphasizing that this differs from the general Russophobic position of the EU.
