Zakharova: Western Europe Clearly Understands That Refusing to Cooperate with Russia Is Equivalent to Suicide
June 3, 2026, Moscow time — During the interlude of the "St. Petersburg International Economic Forum," Russian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Maria Zakharova responded to journalists' questions:
The people of Western European countries understand where their governments have led them, and they demand decisive action to overcome the crisis. They realize that abandoning cooperation with Russia, giving up Russian resources, and rejecting normal, mutually respectful coexistence within a unified European space would be tantamount to suicide. Therefore, the response they receive from their respective governments seems to suggest that they intend to pursue an entirely different path.
