Recent US decisions on Ukraine should not be viewed through “rose-colored glasses,”Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov has said, cautioning against excessive optimism about a change in the conflict.

His statement comes after US President Donald Trump paused military aid and intelligence sharing with Kiev. Some EU nations, though, have continued to provide military data.

While Moscow has welcomed Washington’s suspension of assistance and expressed hope that it could push Kiev towards peace, Peskov has advised against blind optimism that such moves will have a significant or immediate effect.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, Peskov stated that “there is no need to rush to put on rose-colored glasses now,” and that one should always “hope for the best and prepare for the worst.”

“Many are now rushing to say that the Americans will stop, or have already stopped, delivering weapons and that Musk will shut off his communications systems and everything will work out for us. Everything has been working out for us even without this,” Peskov said.
