Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said that countries neighboring Ukraine have shown little enthusiasm for joining what she described as Kyiv's military-related initiatives, according to a report by the Russian state news agency TASS.
Zakharova said the leaders of these neighboring states had made clear they were not prepared to rush into building or jointly operating energy facilities with Ukraine. TASS did not name the specific countries or officials referenced in her remarks, nor did it provide further detail on which energy projects were under discussion.
Context of the remarks
The comments come amid the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine, during which Moscow has frequently used briefings by Zakharova to characterize the positions of Kyiv's neighbors and Western partners. TASS is a Russian state-owned news agency, and the report reflects the foreign ministry's characterization of the situation rather than independent statements from the countries involved.
No response from Ukrainian officials or from the unnamed neighboring governments was included in the report.
The claim could not be independently verified using the information provided, and it forms part of a broader pattern of statements from Russian officials about regional attitudes toward Ukraine during the conflict.
