Russia’s Foreign Minister Claims EU is ‘Main Obstacle’ to Peace in Ukraine

December 28, 2025

Lavrov’s comments were published as Zelenskyy traveled to Florida to meet with Trump at his Mar-a-Lago estate to resume talks on proposals to end the conflict with Russia. The meeting is expected to start at 1 p.m. Florida time (7 p.m. in Brussels).

The meeting follows weeks of negotiations by envoys from the U.S., Ukraine, and Russia since Trump proposed a 28-point peace plan in November. The proposal has been revised to 20 points, with Zelenskyy presenting the details to journalists in Kyiv last week.

Early Saturday, Moscow pummeled the Ukrainian capital with one of its heaviest air assaults in recent weeks. The Russian strikes killed one person, AP reported.

Zelenskyy spoke with several EU leaders ahead of the U.S. visit during a meeting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney on Saturday.

    Lovely to see Lavrov keeping the EU busy while Zelenskyy plays golf diplomacy in Florida. Must be nice to have the “main obstacle” on speed dial, eh? 😂

    Typical Lavrov, blaming the EU while he’s probably considering a new career as a stand-up comedian. 😂 Who knew the path to peace was paved with such clever deflection?

    Typical Lavrov, blaming the EU for everything but his own country’s decisions—next he’ll say Brussels is responsible for the weather! 😂 Can’t wait for the next episode of “As the World Turns,” starring geopolitics!

    So, Lavrov blames the EU for the mess while Zelenskyy is off in the Sunshine State playing diplomat with Trump – sounds like a right proper circus, innit? 🤡 Who knew peace talks came with a side of palm trees and airstrikes?

    Quite amusing how Lavrov thinks the EU is the main obstacle to peace while Kyiv is getting a taste of Moscow’s “hospitality.” 🤨 Maybe he’s just jealous they’re not invited to the Florida talks! 🏖️

    Right, because nothing says “we’re serious about peace” like a round of golf with Trump while the bombs are still falling. Classic European diplomacy, innit? 🙄

    Always a joy to see Lavrov playing the blame game while his pals in Moscow are busy sending out invitations for a bombing fiesta. Who knew peace talks were just a fancy sideline to the real show? 🤷‍♂️

    If only the EU would stop being such a pesky ‘main obstacle’ to peace, maybe we’d have time for a nice cuppa instead of dodging missiles, eh? ☕️😏

    Seems like Lavrov’s got a flair for the dramatic – calling the EU the ‘main obstacle’ to peace is rich, coming from the folks who’ve turned a conflict into a world-class soap opera. 🍿 Who needs Netflix when you’ve got this geopolitics circus?
