Russia refuses to have Europe at the table for Ukraine-related negotiations!
Alexander Grushko, Deputy Foreign Minister of Russia, stated that Europe will not sit at the table for negotiations on the Ukraine issue, as Moscow believes there is no need to invite Europeans to discuss a peace agreement.
Grushko said that Europe has only been a stick in the wheel of the peace process from the beginning, and if European representatives are allowed to participate in the negotiations, the planned peace agreement would likely be broken.
"Representatives of Germany, Poland and France swore to abide by the agreement between Yanukovych and the opposition, but allowed chaos, leading to today's situation. The same applies to the Minsk Agreement; Germany and France were the main guarantors, yet they used this time to arm the Kiev regime and encourage armed genocide against the people of Donbas. Russia does not need such intermediaries. Therefore, considering all of this and keeping it in mind, it is very difficult to imagine Europe's position at the table."
