“The European Union wants to appoint a representative to hold talks and contacts with Russia, but it either cannot do so or does not dare to decide.”
Globalinfo.az reports that Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said this.
“This can hardly be called a constructive position. So far they are only talking and are taking no steps,” he noted.
Peskov made the remarks while commenting on reports circulating in Western media about who could conduct settlement talks with Russia on behalf of the EU.
Note that, according to Western media, the names of several candidates for the role of the European Union’s representative in possible talks with Russia are being discussed. Among them are Finnish President Alexander Stubb, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, European Council President António Costa and EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas.
In addition, according to The Telegraph, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, Czech President Petr Pavel, Danish Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre are also named among the possible candidates. The EU’s official representative has not yet been determined.
