The Kremlin has issued a sharp warning to Europe, saying the political cost of the Ukraine war is only beginning to surface. Spokesman Dmitry Peskov claims European leaders will face voter backlash for decisions tied to the conflict, as Moscow insists battlefield realities are shifting in Russia’s favor. Peskov says Ukraine is losing territory and that any peace talks must reflect those changes. While Russia signals openness to diplomacy, it stresses negotiations will proceed strictly on its terms. With U.S.-led talks gaining momentum, Europe now finds itself under growing political and strategic pressure.
