In Moscow, ambassadors of the United Kingdom, France, and Germany handed over to the deputy of Sergey Lavrov, Mikhail Galuzin, the terms for peace in Ukraine from the leaders of the EU three, according to the Embassy of the United Kingdom in Moscow.
Condemnation of escalation
During the meeting, the ambassadors condemned Russia’s recent escalation and the intensification of disinformation campaigns in the context of its aggression against Ukraine.
In response to the Russian position, the European diplomats outlined the main provisions of the statement issued by the E3 leaders on June 7.
The ambassadors also supported President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s call for direct negotiations between Russia and Ukraine, with the active participation of the United States and European countries, in order to achieve a ceasefire and move forward toward further talks.
Leaders of the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and Ukraine adopted a joint statement outlining five conditions for peace following the summit in London on June 7.
At the same time, the leaders condemned large-scale Russian missile and drone attacks, including the repeated use of Oreshnik systems, as well as "irresponsible incursions by Russian drones into NATO territory."
The London summit was preceded by diplomatic exchanges between Kyiv and Moscow. At the end of May, Zelenskyy conveyed a message to Putin via Roman Abramovich, expressing readiness to meet at a bilateral summit for the first time in more than four years.
On June 5, Putin responded to Zelenskyy’s letter during a speech at the St. Petersburg Forum, but instead of discussing peace terms, he focused on personal insults.
