Russia Gives WW3 Warning; Prepares Kiev Orekhov Offensives; NATO Meeting Bust Trump Talks Greenland
"A final settlement of the conflict in Ukraine is only possible if there has been an agreement between Russia and the West about a new security architecture in Europe. In other words, new structures which I suspect by now from a Russian perspective won't just supersede NATO and the EU, but which will straightforwardly replace them."
Peskov stated that resolving the Ukraine conflict requires establishing a completely new security architecture in Europe that would replace NATO and the EU, setting conditions so extreme that negotiated settlement becomes virtually impossible. The speaker notes that this effectively means Russia has written off any possibility of diplomatic resolution and expects the conflict to be decided on the battlefield. Russia first proposed such an architecture in 2008 under President Medvedev, but received no Western interest.
