European countries do not understand what role they can have in the negotiation process regarding Ukraine. This was stated by Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov.
"Their statements indicate that they do not understand what role might be assigned to them. Probably, they realize the train is already leaving and are trying to jump on the last step of the last carriage at the last moment," Lavrov said.
Recall that at the Kremlin, Russian President Vladimir Putin met with U.S. President's special envoys Steve Whitlock and Jared Kushner.
After the negotiations held in Moscow, Russian Presidential aide Yuri Ushakov stated that European countries seek to be involved in the negotiation process on the Ukraine issue, but first they need to clarify their position: do they want the continuation of the war or the establishment of peace?
According to Ushakov's assessment, the practical steps taken so far by European countries indicate that they are more interested in the continuation of the conflict rather than a peaceful resolution.
