“Europe is putting forward proposals for a peace plan for Ukraine that are unacceptable to Russia,” he said. “European countries are outraged that they have been, so to speak, excluded from the negotiations [w sprawie Ukrainy]. However, I want to emphasize that no one has ruled them out. They excluded themselves” – he explained.
“Why did they do it?

They then adopted wishful thinking, but they cannot admit it to themselves, they do not want to – Putin emphasized.
