Russian dictator Vladimir Putin's team has reacted to the suspension of American military aid to Ukraine, cynically calling it "the best contribution" to the supposedly "peaceful" settlement of Russia's war against Ukraine.
Points of attention
- Russian officials will closely monitor the situation in Ukraine and refrain from drawing hasty conclusions.
- The Kremlin acknowledges that the European Union has been the main supplier of aid to Ukraine, contrary to previous beliefs about US contributions.

Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov made a statement on this matter.
If the US ceases to be (the main supplier of military aid to Ukraine — ed.) or stops these supplies, this will probably be the best contribution to the cause of peace.

However, as it turned out, official Moscow is angry that European countries are determined to continue providing comprehensive assistance to Ukraine.
That is, they will probably try to somehow compensate for the decreasing amounts of ammunition and everything else, the Russian dictator's spokesman complains.
Vladimir Putin's team is also concerned about how events are developing on the front, so it said it would monitor the situation and was in no hurry to draw conclusions.
Against this background, Peskov once again reiterated that until now the US has provided the largest amount of aid to Ukraine, but this is not true. The European Union has always provided the most aid.
"If this (the suspension of military aid from the US — ed.) is true, then this is a decision that can actually encourage the Kiev regime to the peace process," the Kremlin spokesman cynically stated.
