The Kremlin began to comment on yesterday's statements by US President Donald Trump to allow European countries to transfer American weapons to Kiev, as well as the ultimatum Trump Vladimir Putin-to conclude a peace transaction in Ukraine within 50 days. Dmitry Peskov called Trump's statements “very serious”.
“Something in Trump's statements is addressed personally by President Putin. We need time for the analysis, said. And if and when President Putin considers it necessary, he will surely comment on this, ”Peskov said.
He added that Moscow sees how Kyiv perceives the rhetoric of Trump and Ukrainian NATO allies as a signal to continue the war, and not a signal to the world.
Peskov added that Moscow is still expecting from Kyiv proposals on the timing of the third round of direct negotiations of the Russian and Ukrainian delegations in Istanbul. The parties have already exchanged the memorandum of peaceful settlement, Putin admitted that they were directly opposite.
“We retain our readiness, the proposals of the Ukrainian side (at the meeting) we still have not received,” Peskov said.
Recall that Trump after a meeting with NATO head, Mark Rutte, announced that the United States would sell NATO countries the latest American weapons at a 100% price, and they will replace them with American equipment, which will be sent to Kyiv “in the coming days”. Trump also threatened with additional duties of 100% for goods from countries that buy hydrocarbons from Russia.
