MOSCOW, November 15. /TASS/. Discussing a settlement to the Ukraine conflict and security in Europe is pointless if Europeans themselves do not want peace, Kremlin Spokesman Dmitry Peskov told Vesti correspondent Pavel Zarubin.

"Of course, at some stage we will need to discuss this with the Europeans. The question is whether they genuinely want peace. If they do not, then such discussions will be pointless," Peskov said.

He also noted that Russia would have to use force to achieve its goals if there was no prospect of reaching agreements with the Europeans.
