Monday, 21 March 2022 (YJC)_ A Kremlin spokesman said Moscow was opposed to the deployment of NATO peacekeepers in Ukraine, saying Ukrainian nationalists would not allow civilians to leave the conflict zone.
Russian presidential spokesman Dmitry Peskov today (Monday) denied any ceasefire during talks with Ukraine.
Asked about the possibility of a ceasefire in Ukraine during talks between Russian President Vladimir Putin and his Ukrainian counterpart Volodymyr Zelensky, Peskov told a news conference in the Kremlin.
Prior to the meeting between Putin and Zelensky, fundamental progress must be made.
According to the RIA Novosti website, he denied allegations that there were no humanitarian crossings in Ukrainian cities, stressing that Ukrainian nationalists and extremists would not allow civilians to leave.
A Kremlin spokesman said Moscow had a negative view of the idea of a "peacekeeping mission" for each NATO member in Ukraine.
A ban on Russian oil supplies would lead to a serious deterioration in Europe's energy balance.
Peskov continued:
Peace talks with Ukraine are not progressing as well as they should. Russia is ready to act sooner than the Ukrainian side in the negotiations.
According to the report, he explained that the oil embargo is damaging the energy balance in Europe:
Washington will not lose anything in the event of an oil embargo, but Europe will be hit hard.
Earlier, the Russian government refused to surrender Mariupol despite Russian warnings about the possibility of a humanitarian catastrophe.
