'Americans preoccupied with other matters': Russia ridicules Trump as he restarts war on Iran? | USA

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said the United States is currently focused on the deteriorating Gulf situation, leaving less attention for the Ukraine conflict, though Moscow continues to receive signals that Washington remains open to mediation efforts in the future. Peskov also commented on possible new U.S. sanctions, Serbia’s role in Ukraine diplomacy, Latvia’s language policy, and Lithuanian allegations about Russian threats to European infrastructure. He rejected claims that Serbia is mediating between Moscow and Kyiv and accused Baltic governments of using fear of Russia to justify further militarization and NATO expansion in the region.
