CORE SUBJECT
Rejection of Trump peace plan by Kiev and Europe
MOSCOW, December 19. /TASS/. Kiev and Europe are trying to reject the fair compromises of the peace plan developed by U.S. President Donald Trump, said Sergey Naryshkin, director of the Russian Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR), in an interview with TASS.
"We have seen that in recent weeks, both the Kiev regime and its European patrons, contrary to common sense, have tried to reject what I consider healthy and fair compromises proposed in the so-called Trump peace plan," he said.
"In their contacts with representatives of the Washington administration, they try to present this plan as a new attempt to impose the agreement on Kiev, which would supposedly be a concession in favor of Russia. They pursue the goal, by all means, of preventing the signing of a peace agreement and, once again, as was the case under the odious mandate of [former U.S. President Joe] Biden, to force Washington to pay for the Ukrainian conflict, effectively financing the war. But there is, of course, a major error in their calculations. This error lies on the battlefield."
