Russia wants peace in Ukraine-Putin
Budrigannews.com – Russia wants the war in Ukraine to end, President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday, and this would inevitably require a diplomatic solution.
A day after U.S. President Joe Biden promised Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy unwavering support and hosted him at the White House, Putin made the remarks.
“Our objective isn’t to turn the flywheel of military clash, be that as it may, running against the norm, to end this conflict,” Putin said. ” Naturally, the sooner we can put an end to this, the better.”
John Kirby, White House spokesperson (NYSE:) said that Putin has “shown absolutely zero indication that he’s willing to negotiate” an end to the war, which started on Feb. 24 when Moscow sent troops into Ukraine.
During an online briefing, Kirby stated to reporters, “Quite the contrary.” “The man who wants to continue inflicting violence upon the Ukrainian people” and “escalate the war” is evident in everything he (Putin) is doing on the ground and in the air.
Kirby renterated that Biden was available to chats with Putin, yet solely after the Russian chief “showed an earnestness about dealings” and after meetings with Ukraine and U.S. partners.
After a series of Russian defeats and retreats that have swung the 10-month war’s momentum in Kyiv’s favor, Ukraine and its allies suspect a ploy to buy time. Russia has repeatedly stated that it is open to negotiations.
“I’ve stated numerous times: the increase of threats prompts uncalled-for misfortunes,” Putin told columnists.
He added, “All armed conflicts come to an end in some way or another through diplomatic negotiations.” Every conflicting party eventually comes to a mutual understanding. The more quickly those who oppose us come to this realization, the better. This has never been abandoned by us.”

Ukraine, according to Russia, is refusing to talk. Kyiv asserts that Russia must cease its attacks and surrender all seized territory.
Putin also said that Russia would find a way to counter the Patriot air defense system that Biden agreed to provide to Zelenskiy, downplaying its significance.
He stated that it did not function like Russia’s S-300 system and was “quite old.” He boasted that Russia would “crack” the Patriots and that an antidote would always be found.

Therefore, those who engage in it do so in vain. That is all it does is prolong the conflict.
Additionally, Putin asserted that the Russian economy would not suffer from a price cap on Russian oil imposed by Western nations to restrict the country’s ability to finance the war. He stated that he would sign a decree outlining Russia’s response early next week.
