European countries are playing the role given to them by Washington in confrontation with Russia to the detriment of their interests, this will have consequences for them, Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov said.
‘Europe’s foreign minister, he is already behaving like a defence minister, and he is behaving like a hawk. European countries, led by the United States, are ecstatic in this confrontational. They are playing the role that Washington has given them in this whole story, to the detriment of their own interests, to the detriment of their taxpayers’ wallets. And, of course, all this will have profound consequences for them. They are inevitable,’ Dmitry Peskov said, commenting on the statements of European countries, a video published in the Telegram channel of TV journalist Pavel Zarubin.
He emphasised that the negative consequences will be in the coming decade. The Kremlin spokesman also pointed out that Russia’s potential, including economic potential, was higher than expected.
‘Knowing the determination of our president, knowing the potential of our country, which turned out to be even greater than we had anticipated. What is evidenced by the pace of economic development, what is also evidenced by the military mobilisation of our economy,’ – said Peskov.
We shall remind you that earlier the deputy chairman of the Russian Security Council, Dmitriy Medvedev, proposed a Russian version of the ‘peace formula’ in Ukraine. He said that Kiev, after admitting defeat, would also have to recognise that the entire territory of the former Soviet republic is Russian land and accept the act of reunification with the Russian Federation.
