Kremlin Welcomes Some European Leaders' Calls to Resume Dialogue on Ukraine

The Kremlin welcomed recent statements by European leaders from Italy, France, and Germany advocating renewed dialogue with Russia over the Ukraine conflict, describing this as a positive shift if it reflects a broader strategic change. Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov noted ongoing talks with the US but said no such dialogue currently exists with European governments. Some European leaders, including Italy's Giorgia Meloni and France's Emmanuel Macron, have called for re-engagement, while the UK maintains a more critical stance.
