Notable Russian parliamentarians have said that a summit of European leaders in London on Sunday had produced no plan to settle the war in Ukraine.
Writing on the Telegram messaging app, the head of the Foreign Affairs Committee of Russia’s upper house of parliament, Konstantin Kosachev, said the only thing Ukraine could count on was an improvement in Russian-US ties.
Kosachev derided the outcome of the London meeting as a desperate attempt to pass off as success the failure of a 10-year policy of inciting Ukraine towards Russia by the same Great Britain and, until recently, the United States.
“Europe has no plan. And if Ukraine should count on something, it can only be on progress (if there is any to come) in Russian-American relations,” he wrote.
According to him, Ukrainian President, Volodymyr Zelenskyy and British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, who hosted the meeting, cannot fail to understand this.
Chairman of the lower house’s Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, said the meeting would not save Zelenskyy’s position two days after his talks in Washington with President Donald Trump broke down in acrimonious
“The London summit will not save the ringleader of the Ukrainian Nazis. Zero results, a failed attempt to restore the clown’s political reputation after his resounding failure in Washington,” Slutsky wrote on Telegram.
Lending his voice, former Russian President Dmitry Medvedev, now a senior security official, dismissed the London gathering before it had ended, describing it on X as a coven to swear allegiance to the Nazi nobodies in Kiev and a shameful sight.
