Syria rebuffs European pressure to drop Russia, citing multi-partner policy
Al Jazeera AR·SY · RU · FR·about 19 hours ago
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov expressed regret over the absence of dialogue with Europe, attributing it to 'hysterical statements' by European leaders. This rhetorical softening contrasts with Russia's recent confrontational posture, but no concrete policy shift is indicated. The statement signals a possible desire to de-escalate tensions, though it remains unclear if this reflects a genuine change in approach.
