☝️ “Regarding any peace process, it should not be a mere truce for a week, two weeks, or a year, just to allow NATO countries to rearm and stockpile ammunition. What we need are the conditions for a long-term, sustainable, and lasting peace that guarantees equal security for all parties to this conflict.” - President Putin

☝️ “The claims that Russia is going to attack Europe sound ridiculous. We have never had any such intention. However, if they want to formalize this on paper, we have no objection. Some politicians in Europe are a bit out of their minds, or they are simply crooks. They are publicly telling their citizens that Russia is preparing to attack Europe and that they therefore need to strengthen their defense capabilities. They are either serving the interests of the defense industry and private companies, or they are trying to boost their domestic political ratings, given the deplorable state of the economy and social sphere. It is difficult to say what their true motives are, but from our point of view, this is complete nonsense and a lie.” - President Putin

Putin responding. just now, to a question from a reporter on why Russia and the US have excluded the EU from Ukraine peace talks (my translation):

"They had this fantasy about imposing a strategic defeat on Russia and all these talking points [EU officials] keep repeating show some of them are still stuck in these illusions. Even though they know, they absolutely know, that ship sailed ages ago and was never realistic in the first place. They just convinced themselves it was true because they wanted to believe it. And now they can’t bring themselves to admit they were wrong. They’ve basically taken themselves out of the whole process. That’s the first thing.

"Second. They look at the situation today, don’t like what they see, and instead of being helpful, they’ve started getting in the way of the current US administration and President Trump, who’s trying to reach a peace deal through negotiations. They walked away from talks themselves, and now they’re blocking Trump too.

"Third. They don’t have a peace plan at all. They’re openly backing war. And even when they pretend they’re proposing "adjustments" to Trump’s plan, it’s obvious what they’re doing: every one of those changes is meant to kill the peace process entirely. They set conditions that they know Russia could never accept, and then the plan is to blame Russia later for the collapse. That’s the whole game. And we see it clearly.

"So if they want to come back down to earth and deal with reality as it is on the ground, they’re welcome to [join the process]."

Vladimir Putin warns that Russia is ready to go to war with all of Europe if that’s the path European leaders choose.

He insists Moscow has no intention of starting a war, but says if Europe ignites it, Russia will be the one to finish it.

He adds that facing Europe would be nothing like fighting Ukraine, calling it a showdown that would erase any hope of future negotiations.
