Putin ready to talk on Ukrainian war.
After US President Joe Biden suggested that he is ready to talk with the Russian president, the Kremlin also announced that Vladimir Putin is ready to talk about a possible solution in Ukraine and believes in diplomacy.
Yesterday, during a statement in the presence of French President Emmanuel Macron, Biden said: The only way to end the war in Ukraine is for Putin to withdraw his forces, and if he wants to end this conflict, I am ready to talk to him.
Meanwhile, in response to a question about Biden’s statements, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov adopted a pacifist tone and said that Putin is ready to negotiate, but Russia will not withdraw from Ukraine.
He then added: The President of Russia has always been, is and will be ready to negotiate to ensure our interests.
This news agency further wrote: Putin has not expressed any regrets about the beginning of what he called Russia’s “special military operations” in Ukraine and described it as a moment when Russia finally came out after decades of humiliation following the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. It stands against the arrogant hegemony of the West. Ukraine and the West say that Putin has no justification for an imperialist war of occupation, and the Kiev government has announced that it will continue fighting until the last Russian soldier is expelled from its territory.
The Kremlin spokesman also emphasized that Washington is preventing any potential compromise by refusing to recognize the new territories as part of Russian territory.
He then continued: This significantly complicates the effort for dialogue.
The war in Ukraine has left heavy casualties and is considered the biggest confrontation between Moscow and the West since the Cuban Missile Crisis in 1962.
