Moscow: The biggest news of the moment is coming from the Kremlin regarding the Russia-Ukraine war. The Kremlin said on Friday that President Vladimir Putin is ready to hold talks with the newly elected US President Donald Trump on the issue of the Ukraine war. However, the Kremlin also says that being ready to discuss Ukraine does not mean that Moscow is willing to change its previous demands. Putin’s spokesman Dmitry Peskov made this comment when he was asked in the daily news briefing whether Putin’s desire to talk to the elected Republican President reflects Russia’s willingness to change the demands it has been making so far?

On this, Peskov said, “President Putin never said that the goals of the special military operation are changing. On the contrary, he has repeatedly stated that they will remain the same.” All this is related to the security interests of our country, the security interests of the Russian people living there. So there is no talk of any change here. Putin has set his conditions for ending the war on June 14. The first of these is that Ukraine will have to give up its NATO ambitions and withdraw all its troops from all areas of the four regions claimed by Russia. But Ukraine has rejected this condition of Russia. 

Ukraine said that bowing to Russia’s conditions is like surrender.

Reacting to these conditions of Russia, Zelensky had said that doing so would be tantamount to surrender to Moscow. Ukrainian President Zelensky has put forward a “victory plan” over Russia, which includes a request for additional military support from the West. But during his campaign itself, Trump had criticized the scale of US military and financial aid to Kyiv. He had said that if he came to power, he could end the war within 24 hours. After Trump was elected president, Zelensky congratulated him. He said that he does not know how the Americans are planning to end the conflict quickly. He said on Thursday, “If it is just fast, it means a loss for Ukraine. I still do not understand how it can be any other way. Maybe we do not know anything, do not see.”

Putin also congratulated Trump on his victory.

Putin also congratulated Trump on Thursday, albeit belatedly, after his victory in the US election. Putin also praised Trump for his courage when a gunman tried to assassinate him in July and said Moscow was ready to talk with Trump. He said Trump’s comments about trying to end the war were noteworthy. Trump told NBC he had not spoken to Putin since his election win but “I think we will talk”. Asked about a possible phone call between the two men, Peskov said there was nothing concrete to report yet.
