The Kremlin stated today that it will not accept ‘a peace imposed by force’ in Ukraine.
These statements come following the display of support for Kiev at the NATO summit in The Hague, where allies agreed to increase defence spending to 5% of GDP by 2035.
“In any case, ‘peace by force’ is a thesis hardly applicable in Russia’s case. It is not worth using it,” said Dmitri Peskov, spokesperson for the Kremlin, to the local press.
Peskov, who is in Minsk where the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, will attend the Eurasian Economic Union summit on Friday, stressed that “in this way, it will be impossible to achieve any goal whatsoever.”
He recalled that “everyone knows” that the “precursor” of the current conflict is precisely the moment when NATO began moving its military infrastructure closer to Russian borders, and that the Atlantic Alliance supported the Ukrainian Euromaidan revolution in 2014, which he described as a “bloody coup.”
