Putin says the US, NATO and Ukraine "refuse" to negotiate peace with Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin assured this Friday that the authorities of the United States, Ukraine and the leadership of the Atlantic Alliance “refuse” to negotiate with Russia a peaceful solution to the conflict.

“All the contradictions must be resolved during the negotiations, but the problem lies in the fact that they refuse to negotiate with us,” the Russian president said, according to information collected by TASS.

“The conflict originates from the creation of threats to the security of Russia by the United States and NATO,” recalled the Russian president, who recalled that the Kiev authorities have “officially” refused to enter into negotiations with Moscow.

Despite everything, Putin recalled that Russia has always been willing to negotiate, and has once again reached out to the Ukrainian authorities and their allies to address the situation in Eastern Europe.

Russia and Ukraine held certain meetings during the early stages of the war, most of them in Belarusian territory. However, those negotiations did not prosper and, since then, the agreements between both powers are practically null.
