Putin Warns Europe

Europe is hindering the Trump administration's efforts to achieve peace regarding Ukraine, stated Russian President Vladimir Putin.

“Europe is presenting unacceptable proposals for a peace plan in Ukraine. Europe has excluded itself from the Ukrainian settlement process,” said Putin.

He emphasized that Europeans do not have a peace agenda and are currently obstructing U.S. efforts towards resolution.

“Russia does not intend to go to war with European countries, but if Europe starts a war, Russia is ready 'right now.' If Europe provokes a conflict with Russia, soon Moscow will 'not negotiate with anyone,'” he added.
