Russian President Putin said that his proposal to Ukraine for a cease-fire could stop the conflict
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that his proposal to Ukraine for a ceasefire could stop the conflict, but the West did not approach this proposal rationally.
According to the Kremlin Palace, Putin sent a message to the participants of the X International Forum "Primakov Readings", which started in the capital Moscow.
Noting that the forum has gained importance in recent years, Putin noted that topical issues related to the global economy and politics are discussed at this forum.
Noting the importance of the BRICS, formed by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, Putin said that this structure represents the interests of many countries of the world. Putin said: "BRICS is leading the process of building a just and democratic world order based on the principles of equality, free from dictate and coercive pressure." I gave my assessment.
"The West does not rationally approach our proposal on Ukraine"
Referring to the Ukrainian crisis in his message, Putin recalled that on June 14 he made a proposal that "if Ukraine withdraws its troops from Donetsk, Lugansk, Kherson and Zaporizhia and renounces the desire to join NATO, they will be able to start negotiations with Kiev." "
Putin said that this proposal could have stopped the conflicts, but the West did not approach this proposal rationally and said: "Unlike Western politicians who do not want to look into the essence of our proposal, I hope that the forum participants will approach this issue rationally, that this proposal really provides for the cessation of conflicts and the transition of the issue to the process of solving by political and diplomatic means."
