Pentagon: Putin will not go to peaceful negotiations with Zelensky now

Russian President Vladimir Putin has not yet expresses the desire to conduct peace negotiations with Ukraine, the United States believes. This was stated by Pentagon speaker John Kirby at a briefing on Friday, writes European Truth.

“As the US Secretary of State has already said, Putin can do the right thing right here and now: to withdraw troops and sit at the negotiations with Zelensky and conduct conscientious negotiations. Now it does not seem to be hope for such negotiations,” Kirby said said Kirby , emphasizing that Putin “showed no interest in diplomatic settlement.”

on the contrary, he showed that he was ready to continue the war in the Donbass: he continues to build up troops, to charge equipment, to apply air strikes in a smaller territory of Ukraine, ”the Pentagon speaker added.
