Rapid developments for war in Ukraine As the Russian president Vladimir Putin He seems to go back and propose bilateral conversations with Kiev.
Vladimir Putin is under pressure from the US and Donald Trump on the end of the war in Ukraine and today proposed bilateral talks with Kiev for the first time for years. He also said he was open to more “truce” after the one -day Easter.
Putin said the clashes resumed after the 30 -hour truce ended. Speaking to a public Russian television journalist, he said Moscow is open to any peace initiative and expects Kiev.
“We have always been in a positive attitude towards a truce and that is why we went on this initiative, especially because we are talking about Easter days,” he said.
When asked about Zelenski’s proposal for a 30 -day ceasefire in the non -military targets, he replied: “It is a matter that wants careful study, perhaps even bilaterally. We do not exclude it. “
His spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, then confirmed that Putin was referring to the possibility of direct talks with Ukraine. The two countries have not spoken directly after the failed peace effort in the first months of the war.
“When the president said he was likely to discuss the issue of cessation of fire on non -military targets, even bilaterally, he had in mind negotiations and conversations with the Ukrainian side,” Peskov said, according to Interfax.
So far there is no answer from Kiev.
