According to the Kremlin spokesman, Europe's decision to follow the US lead in Ukraine has not considered their own best interests and predicted that this will lead to significant repercussions.

In a recent interview published on Telegram on Sunday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov warned European countries that they would face severe consequences for aligning with the United States in the Ukraine conflict.

According to Peskov, Europe is "playing the role assigned to them by Washington," a stance that undermines their own interests and burdens their taxpayers.

Peskov mentioned that Europe's decision to follow the US lead in Ukraine has not considered their own best interests and predicted that this will lead to significant repercussions.

"They are playing the role assigned to them by Washington in this whole story, to the detriment of their own interests and the wallets of their taxpayers," he stated.

"And, of course, all of this will have serious consequences for them. They are inevitable."

The Kremlin spokesman noted that Russia is prepared to protect its interests amid growing tensions with the West.

He added that Russia's economic resilience has surpassed expectations as it is bolstered by steady economic growth and mobilization of the national economy.

Regarding US-Russia relations, Peskov described them as being at an all-time low under President Joe Biden's administration.

He criticized the US for its direct involvement in the Ukrainian conflict and for fostering an "undisguised hostile attitude" towards Russia, adding that Washington has been increasing its involvement in the conflict.

Peskov also commented on the predictability of US foreign policy, especially under the Democratic administration.

He suggested that the Democrats' approach towards Russia and the EU would remain consistent, by continuing to exert political and economic pressure on EU member states.

When asked about the possibility of a change in US policy should a Republican candidate like Donald Trump win the upcoming presidential election, Peskov expressed skepticism.

He doubted that Trump, despite his campaign promises, could resolve the conflict between Ukraine and Russia quickly or alter the trajectory of US foreign policy overnight.

"I do not think he has a magic wand or that anything can be done overnight," Peskov said in reference to Trump's campaign promises.

Peskov mentioned that current tensions between Russia and the US had reached a "breaking point" under Biden's leadership.

"Mr Biden's presidency has become the culmination of all processes in our bilateral relations. They are probably at their historic low at the moment," Peskov said.

Peskov went on to label Biden as "the flesh and blood of the US political establishment," noting, "the US approach to global affairs traditionally tends toward primitivism. They are always trying to tell everyone how to act and how to live. That is the main message."

He also pointed to Biden's long-standing confrontational stance towards Russia, recalling an encounter in 2011 where Biden, then Vice President, discouraged Putin from running for president again—a move that Putin firmly rebuffed.

"Even then, there were certain attempts to display such behavior in conversations with Putin. Putin has always responded to such approaches correctly but firmly," Peskov said.
