OREANDA-NEWS  The talks regarding the possible sending of European Union (EU) countries of their peacekeepers to Ukraine are an attempt to involve Europe in a direct conflict with Russia. This was stated at a briefing by the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova.

"These talks about the possible dispatch by the European Union of its peacekeepers are nothing more than an attempt to involve Europe in a direct conflict with Russia," the diplomat noted.

According to Zakharova, there is "no consensus among European politicians on this initiative yet."
