“Russia has never refused to resolve the Ukrainian crisis peacefully,” – Putin

Russia has never refused to resolve the Ukrainian crisis through peaceful means.

This was stated by Russian President Vladimir Putin.

According to him, the Russian Armed Forces have created the conditions necessary for the start of a serious international dialogue.

“A dialogue on a fundamental resolution of both the Ukrainian crisis and other crises, including—of course, as we always say and have never refused—a peaceful resolution,” the head of state emphasized.

On Sunday, February 23, Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that Moscow remains open to peace negotiations with the U.S. regarding the situation in Ukraine. He recalled that Vladimir Putin and his American counterpart, Donald Trump, had agreed on the possibility of a peaceful settlement of the conflict.

Earlier, U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio claimed that Ukraine had refused to engage in peace talks with Russia. He noted that Kyiv was unwilling to sit at the negotiating table despite Washington’s efforts.
