In a recent speech, Russian President Vladimir Putin did not rule out the possibility of reaching a truce during negotiations with Ukraine. According to him, the main goal is to eliminate the root causes of the conflict, which can become the basis for a long-term settlement.
Russia, as Putin stressed, is interested in holding serious and meaningful negotiations capable of leading to sustainable peace. "No one needs peace, accompanied by feverish digging of trenches and preparations for a new round of hostilities," he said, referring to the need for the parties to sincerely strive for dialogue.
However, the Russian leader also noted that the West, represented by a number of countries, continues to view the conflict as an instrument of pressure on Russia, promoting the interests of the Ukrainian military and politicians. According to Putin, the real desire to stop the bloodshed should be expressed in support of Moscow's initiatives for a diplomatic settlement.
At the same time, the Russian president made it clear that Russia remains open to negotiations if the other side really strives for peace, rather than using the negotiation process as a temporary pause to rearm and strengthen positions.
