Russian President Vladimir Putin and German Chancellor Olaf Scholz spoke by phone, during which the Russian leader expressed the Kiev regime’s desire to prolong peace talks.
The Kremlin said: “It was noted that the Kiev regime is trying in every possible way to delay the negotiation process, putting forward more and more unrealistic proposals. Nevertheless, the Russian side is ready to continue the search for solutions in line with its well-known principled approaches.”
Putin also stated that the Russian armed forces are doing everything possible to save civilian lives, including organising safe corridors for the population to leave war-torn cities.
Putin also discussed the status of the special operation in Ukraine with the permanent members of Russia’s Security Council. Dmitry Peskov, the president’s press secretary, announced this.
“At the meeting, the current international situation was discussed, the exchange of views continued on the ongoing special operation of the Russian Armed Forces in Ukraine,” Peskov was quoted by TASS.
According to him, the President briefed the meeting attendees on his numerous international phone calls.
