Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip and attacked Israel a week ago, said Saturday morning that it appreciates Russia’s position that Moscow has condemned the blockade of Gaza and is making “relentless efforts” to stop Israeli attacks.

This is how the American edition of the Washington Post reports the essence of the statement.
And the Russian propaganda agency RIA Novosti quotes him as follows:
We in the Hamas movement highly appreciate the position of Russian President Vladimir Putin regarding the ongoing Zionist aggression against our people and his rejection of the blockade of Gaza, the cessation of aid supplies to it and attacks on civilians there.”
Putin said the day before that Russia is ready to coordinate with all constructively minded partners to resolve the Palestinian-Israeli conflict through negotiations.
After the attack on Israel, the Kremlin expressed concern, but did not directly condemn Hamas militants, but presented the attack as a failure of Western diplomacy, the Washington Post recalls. In addition, Putin’s proposal came at a time when he himself is waging a war in Ukraine, where civilians are dying, the American publication notes.
The Russian president said verbatim on Friday:
Israel faced, of course, an attack unprecedented in history. And not only in scale, but also in the nature of execution. In terms of cruelty… Israel responds on a large scale, and also with rather cruel methods.
Putin called on “to think about the civilian population.”
