or stops these supplies, this will probably be the best contribution to peace.
Details Putins spokesman added that Russia sees that some European countries say they will continue to provide comprehensive assistance to Ukraine.
That is, they will probably somehow try to compensate for the decreasing volumes of ammunition and everything else, Peskov said.
He reiterated that supposedly the largest volume has been provided by the United States so far. Well, well see.
There is a lot of scattered information now.
Mostly it comes with references to sources.
And of course, we need to see how the situation on the ground develops.
But the fact that the United States has been the main supplier of this war so far is obvious, Peskov said.
If this the suspension of US military aid ed.
is true, then this is a decision that can actually encourage the Kyiv regime to engage in a peace process, Putins spokesman concluded.
Why this is important Donald Trump has repeatedly expressed his trust in Putin and promised to deepen economic cooperation with Russia if a peace deal could be reached to end the war against Ukraine.
Meanwhile, in recent weeks, the US president has called Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy a dictator multiple times and stated that Zelenskyy must act quickly if Ukraine wants to survive as a country.
The US and Russia have also held two rounds of talks in the United Arab Emirates and Trkiye.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov stated that the key agreement reached during the negotiations in Riyadh was to ensure the swift appointment of ambassadors from Russia to the US and from the US to Russia.
Meanwhile, during the negotiations in Istanbul, US and Russian delegates agreed to remove irritants in bilateral relations and continue working on preparing talks regarding Russias war against Ukraine.
On 27 February, Putin praised Donald Trumps administration for its pragmatism and realistic view of things, noting that initial contacts with US representatives give certain hopes.
Background US President Donald Trump has ordered all military aid to Ukraine to be suspended, thus putting pressure on Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy after an argument in the White House. On 28 February, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, US President Donald Trump and Vice President JD Vance argued about the war in Ukraine at the White House in raised voices in front of TV cameras.
Prior to that, Trump had said at his meeting with Zelenskyy that he stood for both Ukraine and Russia.
After the spat, Trump said Zelenskyy had disrespected the United States and was not ready for peace.
Zelenskyy then left the White House ahead of schedule.
