Russian President Vladimir Putin has said he wants the conflict in Ukraine to end as soon as possible. “We will work to make sure this all ends. And the sooner the better, of course,” the Kremlin chief told a news conference. All armed conflicts end with negotiations, and the sooner this becomes clear to Kiev, the better. The statement was made by Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to information from the Russian news agency RIA Novosti. “All armed conflicts, in one way or another, end with negotiations through diplomatic channels. And we never refuse,” Putin said during a press conference, adding that “the sooner this awareness reaches those who oppose us, the better.”
Vladimir Putin added that Russia has never refused to negotiate with Ukraine and accused Kiev of having banned dialogue. “Our objective is not to turn the wheel of a military conflict, but to end this war. We are committed to this and will continue to do so. We will work hard to ensure this is done and of course the sooner we do it the better,” Putin said.
