Ukraine: Putin opens to talks but says no to USA – World conditions

Russian President Vladimir Putin remains ‘open to talks to secure Russia’s interests’explained the spokesman of the Kremlin, Dmitry Peskov, because Moscow ‘considers the peaceful diplomatic route as the preferable way to achieve its objectives’. But for Russia, it is impossible to accept the condition set by US President Joe Biden for negotiations on Ukraine, i.e. that Moscow’s troops first leave Ukrainian territory. This was stated by Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov quoted by the RIA Novosti agency.

According to the Kremlin, the preferred way to resolve the situation in Ukraine is diplomacy, but the United States must recognize the recently annexed Ukrainian regions as territory of the Federation.

Put in, in a telephone conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Scholzit called Russia’s missile attacks on Ukraine “a forced and inevitable response to Kyiv’s provocative attacks on Russian civilian infrastructure, including the Crimean bridge and energy facilities,” the Kremlin said, quoted by Tass.

On the phone with the German chancellor, the Russian president defined the line of Western countries in Ukraine as “destructive”. accusing them for the weapons supplied to the Ukrainian army: the Kremlin reports it taken up by Tass. “Attention has been drawn to the destructive line of Western states, including Germany, which have beefed up the Kiev regime with weapons, trained the Ukrainian army,” the Kremlin said in a statement. And according to Moscow, Western support is encouraging Kiev to refuse negotiations.

For his part, reports Berlin, the German chancellor urged the Russian president to withdraw troops to allow for a diplomatic solution, condemning Russian airstrikes against civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and underlining Germany’s determination to support Ukraine in ensuring its defense capability. Scholz then asked Putin to find “as soon as possible” a “diplomatic solution”, which includes the “withdrawal of Russian troops”.

Biden on Thursday had opened up the possibility of speaking with Putin, provided he shows “signs of wanting to end the war”, for possible negotiations on Ukraine. And in the meeting with Macron, there was also talk of an international conference in Paris on December 13 to collect aid for Kiev and not as erroneously told of a peace conference.
