Putin Declared Readiness for Negotiations: Main Points about Ukraine from the Live Q&A.

According to ТСН: The President of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Putin, recently held a 'live line' with citizens, summarizing the year. He spoke extensively about Ukraine, where Russian troops are conducting an occupation war.

Here are the main points from Putin regarding Ukraine:

Conditions for Ending the War

Putin noted that Russia is ready to engage in dialogue to end the war based on previously established principles. He emphasized that he sees no readiness from Ukraine to discuss territorial issues.

«They [Ukrainians] did not want to withdraw troops from Donbas after the Istanbul negotiations and are now refusing. But we feel that they are ready for some dialogue,» said the Kremlin dictator.

Putin also confirmed that Russia is ready to end the war if the causes of the conflict are removed.

Military Plans in Ukraine

Vladimir Putin expressed confidence in the strength of his troops, especially in Donbas, and reiterated reports of Russian troop advances in Ukrainian cities.

«Red Liman will be taken soon, already 50% is under our control. And the movement towards Sloviansk will continue. I have no doubt that the RF Armed Forces will 'reach' Kostiantynivka. The city of Dmytriv is completely surrounded. Fighting is ongoing in Huliaipole,» he asserted.

Putin predicts new 'successes' by the end of the year.

Zelensky on the Front

The President of Russia questioned Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's visit to Kupiansk, stating that the Russian army controls the city.

«The stele is one kilometer away from Kupiansk. Well, what's the point of standing on the threshold? Come into the house if Kupiansk is yours,» Putin commented.

He also characterized Zelensky as a 'talented artist.'

Those Responsible for the War

Putin dismissed his responsibility for the deaths of people in the war, stating that Russia did not start the conflict.

«We do not consider ourselves responsible for the deaths of people because we did not start this war,» he stated.

Number of Occupants

Putin reported that there are 700,000 soldiers in the 'special military operation' zone in Ukraine.

«We have 700,000 people in the 'zone of special operation.' Mainly, they are quite young. In particular, the generation of the 90s is represented in large numbers,» he boasted.

The number of casualties was not disclosed.

Ceasefire During Elections

Putin expressed readiness to consider the idea of refraining from strikes to ensure safety during elections in Ukraine.

«We are ready to think about ensuring safety during the elections in Ukraine. At least to stop, refrain from strikes deep into the territory on the day of voting,» he assured.

He also stated his intention to demand participation in the voting from Ukrainians who are on Russian territory, although this data is impossible to verify.

Reparations Loan for Ukraine

Putin sharply reacted to the idea of a reparations loan from the EU for Ukraine and warned of possible consequences.

«Using the frozen assets of the aggressor state is not even 'theft,' but 'robbery,'» he said.

He also claimed that Moscow would defend its rights in courts regardless of political decisions and that Europe would eventually have to return what it 'steals' from Russian assets.

In conclusion, ahead of the live line, Russian prisoners of war in Ukraine recorded messages with their questions.
