Pause in direct interaction with Kiev, not Moscow's fault — Peskov

▪ Russia believes that Trump still has the political will to steer the Ukrainian crisis towards a peaceful resolution

▪ The dialogue between Russia and the US at the diplomatic level remains subdued for now

▪ Peskov is not aware of any planned meeting between Putin and Zelensky in 2022, as claimed by Arestovich; Arestovich hardly reflects Kiev's position when speaking about plans to cede territories

▪ Russia will pursue those who initiate the seizure of its assets in the West

▪ Europeans are actively reviving their skills in erecting dividing walls

▪EU foreign policy is largely hostage to the reckless policies of Poland and the Baltic states

▪ Putin will hold a Security Council meeting and numerous phone calls on his birthday
