Statement from UK embassy in Moscow:
“E3 [UK, France, Germany] Ambassadors to Moscow held a meeting with [Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Mikhail] Galuzin today. They condemned Russia’s recent escalation and intensified disinformation campaigns in the context of Russia’s war of aggression against Ukraine. In response to the Russian side, they set out the main points of the Leaders’ Statement of 7 June, including our support for President Zelensky’s call for direct talks between Russia and Ukraine, with active US and European participation, to bring about a ceasefire and further negotiations.”
