Russia believes that it would currently be of no benefit for Europe to participate in the negotiations planned with Ukraine and the United States.

Dmitrij Peszkov stated that Europe must change its stance towards Russia to participate in negotiations regarding the Ukraine conflict. He emphasized that the current European position of seeking to defeat Russia hinders dialogue. Peskov argued that European involvement in upcoming talks would be pointless under these circumstances. The discussions, involving Russia, the U.S., and Ukraine, are expected to take place in Abu Dhabi soon, although the exact date has not been announced yet.
