However, Russia’s proposal to transfer enriched uranium out of Iran is currently not being taken up by the United States.

On Ukrainian Conflict

The involvement of a number of European countries in the Ukrainian conflict is growing, Peskov said.
"The direct involvement of these countries in the conflict, in the war around Ukraine, is growing," Peskov said, commenting on the publication by the Russian Defense Ministry of drone production sites for Ukraine in Europe.
On April 15, the Russian Defense Ministry published the locations of "Ukrainian" and "joint" enterprises for the production of drones and components for Ukraine in Europe.
