Russia cannot stop fighting because Ukraine is conducting a counter-offensive, Vladimir Putin complained.
Ukraine allegedly forbids negotiations with Russia. Lifting the ban could be “the first step toward dialogue.” This statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin at the Eastern Economic Forum on Tuesday, September 12.
“If the United States believes that Ukraine is ready for negotiations, let them cancel the order of the President of Ukraine prohibiting negotiations. The president also issued an order – he forbade himself and everyone else to negotiate. Blinken is here (US State Department Head Antony Blinken – ed. .) said that they are ready. Well, okay, let’s cancel this order first. This is the first step,” Putin said.
He also said that Russia cannot stop fighting because Ukraine is conducting a counter-offensive.
“From many sides, those people with whom we are talking, who want to act as mediators, are saying: “Are you ready for the cessation of hostilities?” Well, how can we stop hostilities if the opposite is conducting counter-offensive. ,” – complained the Russian leader.
As you know, at the beginning of October 2022, Ukrainian President Vladimir Zelensky signed a decree that makes it impossible to negotiate with Putin, but negotiations with Russia are possible. So Vladimir Putin lied again.
The other day, Zelensky said that now is a “bad moment” for negotiations with Russia. The Ukrainian head of state is ready for a long war with the aggressors.
