The Kremlin on Monday expressed satisfaction with recent statements from Washington indicating that Ukraine’s NATO membership is no longer under consideration — a position that aligns closely with Russia’s long-standing stance on the issue.
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov reported that Moscow welcomes the U.S. position, reiterating that Ukraine’s integration into the Western military alliance would pose a direct threat to Russia’s national security.
“We have heard from Washington at various levels that Ukraine's membership in NATO is excluded. It certainly gives us satisfaction and coincides with our position that Ukraine should not be a member of NATO and should have no prospect of integration with the North Atlantic Alliance,” Peskov said.
Peskov added that while he was not ready to discuss specific details or timelines, the Russian government remains open to diplomatic efforts aimed at ending the conflict.
“I would like not to comment on that now, let alone about timings,” he said. “President Putin and the Russian side remain open to seeking a peaceful settlement. We are continuing to work with the American side and, of course, we hope that this work will yield results.”
The Kremlin spokesman also addressed ongoing concerns about ceasefire violations, stating that Moscow would share relevant data with interested parties.
“Naturally, we will inform all the interested parties, we will provide all the data that our military were speaking about regarding the violations by Ukraine's armed forces mentioned in the Russian Defence Ministry statement.”
The comments came amid ongoing diplomatic engagement between Moscow and Washington, though no clear breakthrough has been announced.
