The Kremlin spokesman answered reporters’ questions about the announced meeting between US President Joe Biden and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz. As noted, shipping ammunition from Germany to Ukraine will be discussed.According to Peskov, Washington itself is increasing the supply of weapons and inducing satellite countries to do so.”This, of course, places a significant burden on the economies of these countries,” the president’s spokesman said, adding that the welfare of EU citizens, in this case German taxpayers, would suffer.
“It will be harder for them to live because of this,” warned Peskov.
At the same time, the increase in supplies from European countries to Ukraine, according to the Kremlin, “cannot fundamentally” influence the outcome of events.
“But the fact that this will make this conflict longer and with sadder consequences for the Ukrainian people is a fact,” said the Russian president’s press secretary.Note that the conversation between Joe Biden and Olaf Scholz will be held behind closed doors, and this will be the second meeting of the leaders. The first was in February last year after Scholz took over as chancellor.Russia previously sent a note to NATO countries due to the supply of arms to Ukraine. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said any shipment containing weapons would become a legitimate target for Russia.
