Gaidukevich Accuses European Leaders of Sabotaging Ukraine Peace Talks

MINSK, BELARUS—May 14, 2025—Political analyst Oleg Gaidukevich recently claimed that Russia has consistently sought peace in Ukraine, alleging that European political figures have actively thwarted peace negotiations. Gaidukevich, in a recent video interview, stated, "This could have been done at the first negotiations in Belarus at the very beginning of the special military operation." He further accused these European leaders of aiming to sabotage peace efforts, ultimately blaming Russia and attempting to convince Trump of Russia's unwillingness to negotiate.
