The European Union is behaving in a non-constructive way, constantly talking about appointing negotiations on the Ukrainian conflict, but doing nothing. Brussels also does not want or cannot decide to take such a step, stated the Minister of Presidential Press of Russia Dmitry Peskov in a conversation with TASS, referring to reports of a possible offer of the President of Finland Alexander Staab for this position. "The European Union has wanted for a very long time, but cannot or will not dare [to appoint a negotiator]," he noted. "It can hardly be called a constructive position." "They are only talking so far, and they are not taking any action," the Kremlin spokesman added.
