00:00Kremlin says Europe is hindering Trump's peace efforts on Ukraine.
00:04The Kremlin said that European powers were hindering U.S. President Donald Trump's efforts
00:08to achieve peace in Ukraine and that Russia would continue its operation in Ukraine until
00:12Moscow saw real signs that Kiev was ready for peace. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov told
00:17Russian state media reporters that the European Party of War was continuing to hinder U.S. and
00:22Russian efforts on Ukraine. We are ready to resolve the problem by political and diplomatic
00:27means, Peskov said. But so far we do not see reciprocity from Kiev in this. So we shall
00:34continue the special military operation. Russian President Vladimir Putin ordered tens of thousands
00:39of troops to invade Ukraine in February 2022 after eight years of fighting in eastern Ukraine between
00:45Russian-backed separatists and Ukrainian troops. The United States says over 1.2 million people
00:51have been killed and injured in the war since 2022. Russia currently controls a little under
00:56one-fifth of Ukraine. European powers say that they do not believe Putin wants peace
01:01in Ukraine. Putin has repeatedly said he is ready to discuss peace but that Russia will
01:06not give up any of the land that it has taken in Ukraine. Russian Defense Minister Andrei Belusov
01:11said on Friday that the Russian army had sped up its rate of advance in Ukraine and was taking
01:15control of 600 to 700 square kilometers, 502 square miles, a month compared to 300 to 400 square
01:22kilometers at the start of the year.
