Kremlin says Davos talks on Ukraine will achieve nothing as Russia is not there

The Kremlin on Monday said that talks in Davos on Ukraine’s peace proposals would achieve nothing as Russia was not participating in the discussions.
President Vladimir Putin sent thousands of troops into Ukraine in February 2022, triggering the biggest confrontation between the West and Moscow since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken, French President Emmanuel Macron and key Middle East leaders are slated to attend this week’s World Economic Forum, putting talks to end wars in Gaza and Ukraine at the top of the agenda for the global elite.
“This is simply talking for the sake of talking,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said when asked about the discussions on Ukraine at Davos.
“This process cannot be aimed at achieving any specific results for the obvious reason – we are not participating. Without our participation, any discussions are devoid of any prospect of any results.”
