German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius has stated that Russia has never seriously engaged in peace negotiations over Ukraine.
Speaking after a meeting of the Ramstein Contact Group, he said that is precisely why it is even more important to continue supporting Ukraine, Caliber.Az reports, citing Ukrainian media.
“The so-called Russian–Ukrainian peace talks are currently suspended. But the truth is that Russia has never taken them seriously,” Pistorius noted.
He also criticised what he described as “short-sighted actions of certain countries,” which he said have allowed Russia’s budget to benefit from the war in the Middle East.
