[Kremlin Press Conference: Russia Will Closely Monitor the "Voluntary Alliance" Meeting in Paris]

July 13, 2026, Moscow time: Dmitry Peskov, Press Secretary to the President of Russia, responded to a question from the Kremlin press corps (Question: Will the Kremlin pay attention to today's "Voluntary Alliance" meeting taking place in Paris?) as follows:

Naturally, we will closely monitor it. These countries are engaging in hostile actions against us, so we will keep a close watch.

Peskov added:

This is a coalition of war-mongers, a group of nations that do not desire peace but instead seek to prolong war. They delude themselves into believing they can inflict strategic damage on Russia. Therefore, this is a misguided alliance and also a war-mongering coalition.
