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.
