We are always ready to support any efforts in the search for peace in Ukraine, said a spokesperson of the European Commission today in response to a question related to the decision to provide tanks to the forces of Kyiv, BTA reported.

Russian invasion of Ukraine 9137

The deployment of the tanks is based on the EU's determination to help Kyiv defend itself in light of increasing pressure from the Russian side.

A year after Russia's illegal invasion of Ukraine, the killing of civilians, the destruction of civilian infrastructure, the use of hunger and energy as a weapon continue, the spokesman said.

He noted that Russia's goal is to end the existence of the Ukrainian state and people.

The EU sees that Russia is not giving up and must help Ukraine defend itself, the spokesman explained.

According to him, the EU is part of the efforts to achieve a peaceful solution, which began a year before the start of the war.

The EU has always offered the Russian side to discuss its security concerns.

It was not the EU that rejected the invitation for talks, the spokesman pointed out.

We are always ready to support any effort in the search for peace in concert with the US and the rest of the international community.

The goal is to return peace to Ukraine as soon as possible.

So far, unfortunately, these invitations to talk have been met with indifference from the Kremlin, which rejects any peace initiatives and opportunities for negotiations to end the conflict, the spokesman summarized.
