Discussing the security architecture with the Europeans will be useless if they don't really want peace, Dmitry Peskov said in an interview with Pavel Zarubin for the Vesti information system.
The presidential press secretary added that the issue of resolving the conflict in Ukraine and security in Europe are components of one whole.
"It is clear that one way or another, a settlement in Ukraine will be related to a new security architecture on the European continent. These are two integral things, and one of them cannot exist without the other. Of course, at some point it will have to be discussed with the Europeans. It's a different matter if they don't really want peace, then it will be useless."
In the absence of contractual potential with the Europeans, Russia will achieve its goal by force, Peskov clarified.
