Milan, 15 Nov. (LaPresse) – The resolution of the conflict in Ukraine is inextricably linked to the new European security architecture. This was stated by Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov. “It is clear that, one way or another, a resolution to the conflict in Ukraine will be linked to a new security architecture on the European continent. These are two integral parts, and neither can exist without the other,” Peskov told Vesti journalist Pavel Zarubin, as reported by the Russian news agency Interfax. “Naturally, at some point we will have to discuss this with the Europeans. It is another matter entirely if they do not genuinely want peace: in that case, it will be pointless, and we will have to press ahead. In the absence of any room for negotiation, we will have to do so by force,” he added. According to the Kremlin, the Europeans are still failing to demonstrate unity: “They are simply incapable of taking timely decisions because of their disunity. This is holding everything back. It remains to be seen whether they will find the opportunity and the strength to finally reach common ground and act swiftly. Not yet,” said Peskov.
