Answering the question that in June 2024, Kyiv and Brussels officially opened negotiations on Ukraine’s accession to the EU, Peskov stated that it was a matter of “economic integration processes”.
“Of course, no one can dictate anything to another country, and we are not going to do it,” he said.
Peskov noted that this position “does not concern Ukraine’s participation in military alliances”, since Ukraine’s desire to join NATO “is considered a clear threat in Putin’s eyes.”
“Of course, our position in matters related to security, defense and military alliances is completely different. We have a different approach there, and everyone knows it,” he added.
