The Kremlin has said that states hosting nuclear weapons near Russia's borders are contributing to escalation, according to remarks from spokesman Dmitry Peskov.
Peskov said that Europe is hindering the resumption of peace negotiations over the war in Ukraine, though the specific states or weapons deployments referenced were not detailed in the available remarks.
The statement reflects Moscow's continued framing of Western military posture in Europe as a driver of regional tensions, a position the Kremlin has repeated at various points throughout the war in Ukraine.
The remarks come amid continued uncertainty over the prospects for renewed peace talks between Russia and Ukraine, with both sides' positions on potential negotiations remaining a subject of ongoing diplomatic discussion.
