Russian President Vladimir Putin on Wednesday said his government is ready to negotiate on Ukraine. He made the remark in an interview ahead of his visit to China. This is the most significant remark for the global community’s peace initiative, which has been unable to end hostilities in Ukraine since Russia’s invasion in 2022.
Putin, in an interview with China’s official news agency Xinhua, said that Russia is open to a dialogue as long as other countries all factor in its interests.
Vladimir Putin said such negotiations must take into the interests of all countries involved in the conflict, including Russia.
“We are open to a dialogue on Ukraine, but such negotiations must take into account the interests of all countries involved in the conflict, including ours,” Putin said on Wednesday.
