The United States has not yet been able to force Kiev to agree to a peace settlement, as this requires negotiations not only with Ukraine, but also with Europe. That's what Putin's assistant Ushakov said. "And before, after Anchorage, there was an impression that the American government could dictate something and force Kiev to carry it out. But so far it somehow hasn't worked out. Since it is not enough to talk only with Kyiv, we must talk with all of Europe, which fully supports Kyiv," Ushkov said. In his opinion, the position of the European countries may become a key in the issue of resolving the war in Ukraine. We will remind you that the Europeans will not be represented in the upcoming negotiations on Ukraine in Abu Dhabi in November.
