> Dmitry Peskov said Russia would defend its interests in Ukrainian affairs regardless of the situation in the United States, adding that Moscow prefers a peaceful settlement but that this has not yet been possible. He declined to discuss reports that a diesel deal with the US had collapsed, citing confidentiality rules, and called allegations linking pro-Russian hackers to attacks on European supermarket refrigeration systems absurd.
