Putin Says Ukrainian Conflict Approaching End

Vladimir Putin stated that he believes the Ukrainian conflict is approaching completion. According to a report by South China Morning Post, the Russian president made this assessment during a discussion of the current situation on the front.

The statement from the Russian leader came against the backdrop of ongoing hostilities in Donetsk, Luhansk, and other regions of Ukraine. Moscow has previously repeatedly outlined conditions under which it would be prepared for negotiations, though Kyiv has rejected these proposals.

Zelensky and his administration insist on the restoration of the country's territorial integrity as a precondition for peace talks. At this time, no official response from the Ukrainian side to Putin's remarks has been received.
