Wires carrying comments from Kremlin spox Dmitry Peskov on a number of subjects:

  • Peskov says that the Kremlin has seen 'curious information' in the media about France detaining a Russian man over alleged sabotage plans. Says that the Russian embassy in Paris needs to be informed about the case by French authorities. Comes amid arson attacks on the Parisian high-speed rail network on the day the Olympic Games open, and security alert at Basel-Mulhouse airport on the Franco-Swiss border that has seen the airport evacuated.
  • On the US election, regarding a WSJ article co-authored by Donald Trump's former Secretary of State Mike Pompeo titled 'A Trump Peace Plan for Ukraine', Peskov says that the Kremlin 'is not wearing rose-tinted spectacles when it comes to Trump...[he] is a representative of a political elite which harbours anti-Russian sentiment...[Trump] is not that different from the others.'
  • Peskov says Russia 'will carefully consider' how to respond to the EU's step to transfer windfall profits from frozen Russian assets held in the EU to Ukraine. Commission President Ursula von der Leyen confirmedthat the funds would be transferred to Kyiv today, posting on X "Today we transfer 1.5 billion euros in proceeds from immobilised Russian assets to the defence and reconstruction of Ukraine. There is no better symbol or use for the Kremlin’s money than to make Ukraine and all of Europe a safer place to live,"
