The Kremlin spokesperson accused European leaders of contradicting their stated support for peace by simultaneously emphasizing their intentions to assist the Kyiv regime in the production of new types of weapons.”
The Kremlin has also ruled out the prospect of peace negotiations with Ukraine for the time being and renewed accusations against Kyiv.
According RBC-Ukraine, citing comments made by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov to Russian state media, he said he finds it “difficult to imagine” negotiations with Ukraine at present, citing what he alleged were “terrorist actions” by Kyiv.
Peskov also repeated Moscow’s assertion that Ukraine is “doing everything to delay the process of a peaceful settlement.”
In addition, he described the strike on the Moscow–Simferopol passenger train as a “crime of the Kyiv regime,” while offering no evidence linking Ukraine to the incident.
Separately, Peskov said Russian authorities are working to address fuel supply issues in temporarily occupied Crimea.
On June 7, the leaders of the United Kingdom, Germany, France, and Ukraine set out the main principles for a future peace agreement and reaffirmed their commitment to continued military, political, and security support for Kyiv during talks held in London.
In a joint statement released after the discussions, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, French President Emmanuel Macron, and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz called on Russian leader Vladimir Putin to agree to an immediate and unconditional ceasefire and said the current frontline should serve as the basis for future negotiations.
The statement also emphasized that internationally recognized borders cannot be altered through force and that Ukraine must retain the sovereign right to determine its own security arrangements and international partnerships.

The leaders further agreed that Ukraine should receive credible, legally binding security guarantees once a ceasefire is implemented. According to the statement, these guarantees would build on commitments made in Berlin in December 2025 and Paris in January 2026 and would include the deployment of a Multinational Force–Ukraine.
They also reaffirmed that Russian assets frozen by Western countries would remain inaccessible until Moscow ends its war and compensates Ukraine for the damage caused by the invasion.
Additionally, US President Donald Trump stated that Volodymyr Zelenskyy and Vladimir Putin should now “sort it out” themselves in relation to Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.
When asked whether he preferred that the two presidents engage in talks without US mediation, Donald Trump voiced support for direct communication between them.
“I’m not against it. I mean, let them sort it out themselves. I’m the one who brought them to this situation, and I think it will all work out,” the US president said.
