During a meeting with US presidential special representatives Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, the Russian leader expressed concern over plans to introduce troops. According to him, such actions after peace is achieved in Ukraine would only be a continuation of the war.
"After peace in Ukraine, they intend to introduce troops, and that is a continuation of the war."
Security in Europe and Borders
Vladimir Putin noted that despite US proposals to agree on a security system in Europe, European countries refuse such interaction. The Russian side, according to the president, has not opposed dialogue with European states, but Moscow expects certainty from the US regarding the choice between peace and war.
Regarding the territorial issue, the Russian President emphasized that for Russia, the only line of demarcation with Ukraine is the state border. At the same time, he expressed a desire to establish lasting peace on Ukrainian territory.
Humanitarian Initiatives
As one of the proposals, the idea of organizing a humanitarian mission in Kostyantynivka was mentioned. According to the Russian leader, this process could be implemented following the example of Olesky, where experience in cooperation with Ukraine has already been accumulated. Five days will be required to conduct demining operations in the area of the city.
