Putin on the possibility of peace talks on Ukraine:

Putin on the possibility of peace talks on Ukraine: We are ready for peace talks, but not on the basis of some wishes, the name of which changes from month to month, but on the basis of realities that are taking shape and on the basis of the agreements that were reached in Istanbul, based on the realities of today. But we should not be talking about a truce for half an hour or for six months so that shells can roll in, but in order to create favorable conditions for restoring relations, future cooperation, the interests of the two peoples, which are undoubtedly fraternal, no matter how complicated this is by the rhetoric of today’s tragic events in relations between Russia and Ukraine. Therefore, our position is clear and understandable. We will act in this direction, we will move in this direction. Source: Victor vicktop55
