MOSCOW, March 28. /TASS/. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz's statements regarding the possibility of peace in Ukraine do not change Europe's belligerent course of getting more and more involved in the conflict, Russian Presidential Spokesman Dmitry Peskov has told the media.
"These statements do not change the essence of what is happening. Germany is already quite involved in the conflict," the Kremlin spokesman said when asked for a comment on Scholz's recent remarks about the chances for peace in Ukraine.
Peskov noted that there were different views in the European Union on whether it was necessary to increase the degree of involvement in the conflict in Ukraine.
"At the same time, this does not change the prevailing approach in Europe to making Ukraine fight to the last Ukrainian. And all of them, of course, are united by the declared political will to support Ukraine to the necessary extent to the very end. Therefore, we are monitoring all these nuances in the most careful way," Peskov said.
He also emphasized that French President Emmanuel Macron was professing the most radical positions in Europe regarding the idea of sending troops to Ukraine.
"We see different points of view with different nuances in the European political establishment," he said. "At the same time, we see that, indeed, in this case the most radical positions are taken by President Macron, who is the initiator of the discussion on sending foreign military contingents to Ukraine. We are closely monitoring all this rhetoric."
Earlier, when asked about the possibility of peace talks on Ukraine, Scholz said that a number of countries, including Ukraine, were currently "discussing at the level of security advisers what something that would lead to a peace process might look like."
He also remarked that peace was possible at any time.
