This was reported by the American media CNN.
“I don’t think it’s too dangerous,” Putin told TASS. I think we are moving in the right direction, protecting our national interests and the interests of our citizens. We have no choice but to protect our people.
“We are ready to negotiate with all those involved in this process on acceptable solutions, but it is up to them to decide,” he added. It’s not us who refuse to negotiate, it’s them.
At the same time, Russia continued to attack Ukraine, bombing Kramatorsk.
An adviser to the Ukrainian president, Mykhailo Podoliak, posted a message on the social network Twitter, calling on Putin to “return to reality.”
“Russia alone attacked Ukraine and killed civilians. He wrote that the country had no other “geopolitical ambitions”.
Russia does not want negotiations, but tries to avoid responsibility.
Recall that on December 21, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky made a historic visit to the White House.
US President Joe Biden has pledged to “continue to strengthen Ukraine’s ability to defend itself” against Russia’s attacks, which have continued for more than ten months.
