Putin wants to get rid of Ukraine war, has softened, desperate for talks! ‘Friend’ made a big claim
Regarding the possibility of talks to end the conflict, Erdogan said there was hope, Al Jazeera reported. Responding to Erdogan’s statement, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Russian President Vladimir Putin was in favor of talks with Ukraine “from the very beginning” and that “nothing has changed” in this regard. “If you remember, President Putin tried to start talks with both NATO and the US even before the special military operation,” he said.
Defense Ministers of America and Russia spoke
Peskov said Putin was in favor of talks when a document was almost agreed upon between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators. Nothing has changed in this regard. The position of the Ukrainian side has changed… Ukrainian law now forbids any negotiations. On Friday, US Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin spoke to his Russian counterpart Sergei Shoigu over the phone. Both had insisted on maintaining dialogue during the war.
Russia ready to come with America or Turkey
Earlier this month, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview that Russia was ready to engage with the US or Turkey on ways to end the war. But no serious proposal for talks has been received so far. This war has brought the world to the brink of a nuclear attack. Recently, US President Joe Biden also acknowledged that the threat of nuclear attack was at its peak since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
