Dmitri Peskov, the Russian president’s press secretary, censured European countries for turning a blind eye to regional peace at an interview with a reporter of Russia’s state-run TV and radio broadcasting service on March 23.

Demanding European countries be absolutely concerned about peace, he said that it is sophism for Europe to talk about war and about how to step up militarization at present.

Europe claims that NATO forces may be potentially deployed in the Ukrainian territory, instead of thinking about how to remove the root cause of conflict, he said, stressing that war cannot be stopped without eliminating the root cause of conflict revolving around Ukraine.

He noted that politicians with political insight into the future should emerge in Europe sooner or later, adding that such insight will show them the direction to have good-neighbourly relations with Russia.
