Vice-Speaker of the Council of the Russian Federation Konstantin Kosachev said that the leaders of the European Union countries want to talk to US President Donald Trump before he calls Russian President Vladimir Putin, so that the conversation between Moscow and Washington did not give the desired result.
‘Here and now – the war hawks from Europe have already flown in, they want to have time to talk to Trump early in the morning to put pressure on him. So that the Russian-American conversation will not work and will not produce results. So that there would be no peace, but only a respite for Ukraine in order to continue [the conflict – ed.] with Russia,’ Konstantin Kosachev wrote in his Telegram channel.
The Vice-speaker of the Sovfed noted that Donald Trump is not subject to pressure, which makes him different ‘from the interlocutors from the European coalition “wanting war and not wanting peace”.
We shall remind you that earlier, special envoy of the US president Stephen Whitkoff said that the US administration had managed to bring the positions of Russia and Ukraine closer in the settlement of the armed conflict.
