Peskov commented on granting Ukraine and Moldova the status of EU candidates

“These are, of course, internal European affairs,” he said.

According to him, it is very important for Moscow that such processes do not bring more problems to Russia and problems in relations with these countries.

“These problems are already enough, they (relations with the EU. -

) are already pretty spoiled,” Peskov said.

On June 23, the head of the European Council, Charles Michel, said that the EU summit had agreed on the status of candidates for joining the union for Ukraine and Moldova.

The vice-speaker of the Federation Council of Russia Konstantin Kosachev called this decision of the EU "purely political".
