Kremlin says Europe deludes itself thinking pressure on Moscow will achieve anything

according to‌ webangah⁣ News agency, citing RIA Novosti, Dmitry​ Peskov, spokesperson for teh Russian Presidential Office (Kremlin), stated ‌in a declaration today that Europe is not ⁢on a path toward peace. “They are ‍deluding ⁤themselves into believing they can achieve anything by pressuring Russia,” he said. Peskov‍ warned that any European decision‍ to lift range restrictions on weapons supplied to​ Ukraine‌ would escalate tensions.

The Kremlin spokesperson further clarified⁤ that President Putin has no plans ⁢to meet with North Korea’s Minister of State Security during his current stay ‍in Russia.

Peskov had previously cautioned ​European nations supporting Kyiv, stating: “Any⁣ decision enabling ‍Ukraine’s access to long-range military capabilities would be extremely risky.”
