New Delhi, May 10: The four-year-old Russo-Ukrainian War may end soon , Says President Vladimir Putin.“I think that the matter is coming to an end,” Putin told reporters while referring to the Russia-Ukraine war, Europe’s deadliest conflict since the World War II.
He indicated that Moscow was prepared to discuss a fresh security framework for Europe aimed at ensuring long-term stability and reducing tensions between Russia and the West.He stated during the Military day parade in Moscow.
Putin also said he would be open to negotiations on new European security arrangements and suggested that his preferred interlocutor would be former German Chancellor Gerhard Schröder, who has long maintained close ties with Russia and its leadership. His remarks have fuelled speculation about renewed diplomatic efforts to end the prolonged conflict, which has caused massive destruction, displacement and economic disruption across the region.
Putin faces a wave of anxiety in Moscow about the war in Ukraine, which has killed hundreds of thousands of people, left swathes of Ukraine in ruins, and drained Russia’s economy. Russian advances have slowed this year, though Moscow controls just under one-fifth of Ukrainian territory.
The three-day ceasefire between Russia and Ukraine marked a significant accomplishment in Trump’s efforts to broker peace and end the war, as the conflict in Iran continues to overshadow the administration’s foreign affairs. Trump added that “talks are continuing on this Major Conflict, the biggest since World War II, and we are getting closer and closer every day.” President Donald Trump announced the ceasefire on Friday, saying it would be in effect over the weekend and through Monday. The ceasefire started the same day as Russia held its Victory Day Parade,Russia and Ukraine also agreed to suspend all kinetic activity and exchange 1,000 prisoners each as part of the agreement.
