According to him, Russia is supposedly ready to make reasonable compromises with Ukraine, but direct negotiations are not currently underway.
"Any outcome [of Russia's war against Ukraine - ed.] should be in Russia's favor, I say it directly, without any shyness, and should be based on the realities emerging on the battlefield," Putin claimed.
"Without a doubt, we will not make any concessions here, there will be no exchanges."
This follows an earlier claim made by Putin on Oct. 24 that Russia had allegedly received "peace proposals" from Kyiv through Turkey, but that they had later been withdrawn by the Ukrainian side.
Earlier, щn Oct. 16, Kremlin’s spokesperson Dmitry Peskov claimed that he hadn’t yet seen Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s newly revealed victory plan but had already dismissed it as an "American plan" for waging war against Russia "to the last Ukrainian.".
