Kremlin Says Putin Is Ready for Peace With Kiev, but Is Focused on Achieving Objectives
Turkish Media Suggests Russia and Ukraine Talks May Restart as Soon as Wednesday
As US President Donald J. Trump’s ’50 days to end the war’ are passing us by, we start to see timid but real developments on peace negotiations between Russia and Ukraine.
On Saturday (19), Kiev regime leader Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed that his team has proposed ‘a new round of peace talks this week’.
Yesterday (20), the Kremlin responded, saying that Russian President Vladimir Putin ‘is ready to move toward a peace settlement’.
However, spokesman Dmitry Peskov told state television, Moscow’s main objective remains to achieve its goals in the war.
Reuters reported:
“Peskov said that the world was now accustomed to U.S. President Donald Trump’s sometimes ‘harsh’ rhetoric but pointed out that Trump had also underscored in comments on Russia that he would continue to search for a peace deal.
‘President Putin has repeatedly spoken of his desire to bring the Ukrainian settlement to a peaceful conclusion as soon as possible. This is a long process, it requires effort, and it is not easy’, Peskov said told state television reporter Pavel Zarubin. ‘The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. Our goals are clear’, Peskov said.”
