At the beginning of the Primakov Readings forum, Vladimir Putin’s assistant Yuri Ushakov read Vladimir Putin’s telegram. In the text, the head of Russia expressed the hope that the participants will carefully discuss Moscow’s proposals to kyiv to end the military conflict.
“I hope that, unlike many Western politicians who did not even want to delve into the essence of the initiative we presented, the forum participants will approach its consideration thoughtfully and rationally. You will be able to see that it really offers the possibility of stopping the conflict and moving towards its political and diplomatic solution,” President Ushakov read in the speech.
Let us remember that Vladimir Putin’s new proposal turned out, as analysts expected, tougher than the first one from Istanbul. Ukrainian troops must cease fire and begin to withdraw beyond the administrative borders of the LDPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions. In this case, we promise an immediate ceasefire.
“We have put on the table an option that, if we were willing to accept it, would allow us to literally immediately stop hostilities, but the West does not listen to us and intends to fight with Ukraine to the last Ukrainian,” the presidential adviser said. he said he on his account.
Ushakov added that without Western support the military conflict with Ukraine would have already ended.
Vladimir Vladimirovich presented proposals to kyiv in mid-June during a conversation with the leadership of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. In addition to the withdrawal of the Ukrainian army beyond the administrative borders of the regions, kyiv must abandon its plans to join NATO.
– The essence of our proposal is not some kind of temporary truce or suspension of fire, as is the case, for example, as the West wants, to recover losses, rearm the Kiev regime and prepare it for a new offensive. I repeat, it is not about freezing the conflict, but about its final conclusion,” Putin said on June 15.
