Russia wants to end the war and the sooner negotiations are reached the better. This was stated by President Vladimir Putin on Thursday, according to reports from world agencies. He released a statement to reporters after a meeting of the State Council. His speech took place against the background of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky’s visit to the United States.
Conflicts end the same way
“All armed conflicts end in one way or another with negotiations, through diplomatic channels. Sooner or later all parties to the conflict sit down and make a deal. The sooner this is accomplished by those who oppose us, the better. We never gave upPutin said on Thursday.
He also commented that he has stated many times that any escalation of military actions leads to new battlefield casualties and unwarranted casualties.
Putin also said that even if the US supplies Ukraine with the Patriot air defense system, the Russians would be able to handle it easily. He explained that this system was old and didn’t work like the Russian S-300.
“Well, we will take it into account and always find a countermeasure“, he said.
No indication
Putin has given absolutely no indication that he intends to end the military conflict in Ukraine, White House spokesman John Kirby commented in response.
“Everything he does on the ground and in the air speaks of a man who wants to continue the violence against the Ukrainian peoplecommented.
According to him, US President Joe Biden is open to negotiations, but only after the Russian president shows seriousness in the negotiations.
