Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russia will have to use force to achieve its goals if there is no prospect of reaching agreements with Europe, in an interview with Vesti correspondent Pavel Zarubin.

According to Peskov, if the European Union does not want peace, there is no point in discussing a settlement to the Ukraine conflict or the European security framework. Earlier, Peskov had said that the negotiators chosen by Europe had not yet approached Russia.
