Russia has accused European nations of "sparing no effort" to prolong the Ukraine conflict, with Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claiming Thursday that Europe’s role in escalating tensions has "reached its peak." 🔥 The remarks come as both sides trade sharp accusations, with Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warning of "Russia’s boldness to escalate" following recent drone incidents across Europe. 🚁
Tensions Escalate, Diplomacy Stalls
Peskov argued that European support has emboldened Ukraine to avoid negotiations, while Zelenskyy countered that "Russia aims to break the West." Russian President Vladimir Putin dismissed claims of aggression but warned of a "timely and significant" response to Europe’s militarization. 🛡️
Peace Talks Hit a Wall?
Despite stalled U.S.-led peace efforts, Peskov said Russia remains open to dialogue, emphasizing that Moscow is "working to safeguard future generations." The statement follows a reported August meeting between Putin and former U.S. President Donald Trump in Alaska, though no deal was reached. 🤝
As Europe debates military spending hikes, Putin urged calm: "Just calm down—we pose no threat." But with both sides digging in, the path to peace remains uncertain. 🌍
