Vladimir Putin stated his openness to finding a solution to the Ukraine conflict, mentioning potential talks with Ukrainian President Zelenskyy after June 22. Despite ongoing attacks on Kyiv resulting in a rising death toll, including a recent incident where 28 died, Putin emphasized the need for a resolution that ensures long-term stability. He specified that he would engage in negotiations with Zelenskyy only during the "final phase" of peace talks. His comments come amid international scrutiny over Russia's military actions and sanctions imposed by Western nations.
"We need to find a solution that would not only put an end to the current conflict but also create conditions that would prevent similar situations from recurring in the long term," Putin told foreign media in a televised briefing on June 18 in St. Petersburg.
"I am even ready to meet him -- but only if it is some kind of final phase," Putin said.
