Russia-Ukraine conflict and peace negotiation status

Overview

During the Valdai Discussion Club, Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, emphasizing that a primary objective for Moscow is maintaining Ukraine’s neutral status. Putin stated that Russia is prepared to enter peace negotiations as quickly as possible, provided the terms are acceptable to the Russian Federation.

Putin addressed the economic impact of Ukrainian attacks on Russian oil refineries, claiming these strikes have cost Russia approximately one percent of its GDP. He dismissed proposals from Kyiv and Washington for a mutual cessation of long-range strikes—specifically regarding attacks on Russian refineries in exchange for halting strikes on Ukrainian ships—labeling such suggestions as ‘absurd.’

Furthermore, Putin asserted that Ukraine would be unable to conduct deep strikes into Russian territory without technical support from the West, which he characterized as direct involvement in the conflict. He accused Western nations of attempting to create a ‘new iron curtain’ and argued that Ukraine is losing its sovereignty by being ‘controlled from the outside.’

In a related development, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy announced the first combat use of the FP-7 tactical ballistic missile, noting that production of the weapon will continue.
