“Well, look, probably theoretically, Mr. Trump is not far from the truth: the US president really, if he wants to put an end to this conflict, can do it very quickly, using his opportunity, in fact, simply to give instructions to the Kyiv regime,” Peskov said.

According to him, "the key to the Kyiv regime is largely in the hands of Washington."

He also noted that the degree of tension in the situation around Ukraine is increasing against the background of the supply of weapons and military equipment by Western countries to the Kyiv regime.

Earlier, former French Secretary of State Pierre Lelouch, who held this post under President Nicolas Sarkozy, said that the West was exacerbating the conflict by supplying weapons to Ukraine.
