'A thousand years of talking are better than a day of war' - Vucic welcomes potential EU-Russia dialogue on Ukraine despite backlash after Moscow visit

"Serbian President Aleksandar Vucic voiced support for direct European negotiations with Russia on Ukraine, as reports indicate renewed efforts to re-engage Moscow over the four-year conflict, amid stalled peace initiatives and Europe's marginal role in earlier talks. "Any talk is better than a day of war. A thousand years of talking is better than one day of war, and if it will contribute to calming passions, calming tensions, and calming the fire of war in Ukraine, I will be the happiest man in the world," Vucic said in Belgrade on Wednesday. Despite supporting the initiative, the president defended his visit to Moscow last year, criticising European leaders for their inflexibility and hypocrisy in adapting to the global situation. "When I visited Moscow a year ago, some people almost lynched me, asking what I was doing in Moscow. Well, it seems I will soon ask them, 'And what are you doing in Moscow now?' and vice versa," Vucic pointed out. Commenting on the ongoing standoff between the US and Iran, he expressed concerns that a new wave of escalations could erupt 'in the next 15-20 days'. "I am happy that negotiations are taking place <...> but I am not sure that it will remain so because I don't see how it could end the problems and differences between Americans and Iran without one side being strongly defeated," he noted. On Monday, US President Donald Trump told reporters he had been ready for a 'very major attack tomorrow' on Iran - but claimed Gulf nations had asked him not to.
