Putin is engaged in peace negotiations in Ukraine, says Cremlin

Tuesday the Kremlin said that Russian President Vladimir Putin is serious in negotiating an agreement to end the war in Ukraine, while high -level conversations began in Saudi Arabia and that Russia would prefer to achieve all your goals in peace in peace .

Putin sent the Russian army to Ukraine in 2022. He repeatedly claimed to be ready to discuss the end of the war that reflects reality on the ground, where the advance of Russian forces now controls almost a fifth of the Ukrainian territory.

Western intelligence, European leaders and former president of the United States Joe Biden have said not to believe that Putin really wants peace, even if the President of the United States Donald Trump claims to think that Putin is serious.

“President Putin repeated his words on his will of peace negotiations from the beginning,” the spokesman for the Kremlin Dmitry Peskov told journalists.

“The main thing for us is to achieve our goals. And of course we prefer peaceful means to achieve our goals.”

Peskov said that there was still no understanding of a date for a meeting between Putin and Trump, although the conversations to Riyadh can bring clarity. According to him, it is impossible to give an idea of ​​the interviews, since they have just started.

When asked if Putin was willing to negotiate specifically with the Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskiy, Peskov said Putin repeatedly said yes.

But he also said that any agreement should have taken a possible challenge to Zelenskiy’s legitimacy, a reference to the fact that Zelenskiy has remained in charge beyond the end of his normal mandate because Ukraine is under martial law.

Peskov said that adhesion to the European Union is a sovereign right of Ukraine, if he wishes, but Moscow’s position is different when it comes to joining military alliances.

Moscow has declared that one of the objectives of what he calls “special military operation” is to avoid any perspective of Ukraine’s adhesion to the born transatlantic defense alliance, which would be considered a threat to the safety of Russia.
