The Kremlin spokesperson criticized some Europeans for political myopia and irrationality.

【Kremlin Press Conference: Some Europeans Are Still Politically Ignorant and Short-Sighted】

Moscow time February 12, 2026, Dmitry Peskov, Deputy Head of the Russian Presidential Administration and Kremlin Spokesperson, responded to questions from the Kremlin Press Corps:

Some people are increasingly saying that, despite everything, it is necessary to start talking with Russians, which is in line with our approach. However, some Europeans still stick to previous practices, which are completely short-sighted, completely irrational and unreasonable. They say that all contacts must be cut off and should not be restored under any circumstances. This is political ignorance and political short-sightedness, nothing more.
