ASTANA, May 29. /TASS/. Europe is a party to the Ukraine conflict and cannot act as a mediator, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
He also noted that the Kremlin was positive about Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s remark that Budapest would not provide weapons and military equipment to Ukraine.
TASS has gathered the key statements made by the Russian presidential press secretary.
European mediation impossible
Europe cannot act as a mediator in talks with Kiev as it is a party to the Ukraine conflict: "Europe is currently a party to the conflict as it is taking Ukraine’s side. Don’t forget that European weapons are being used for attacks on us, and this cannot be ignored. That said, Europe can in no way claim the role of mediator."
