Russian President Vladimir Putin warned Western states in Vladivostok. According to him, if foreign troops are sent to Ukraine, they will become a “target for destruction” for Russia.
Putin said he was ready to meet with Zelensky, but emphasized that this could only take place in Moscow. The West did not take this proposal seriously.
Several factors influence Putin’s firm stance. Russia believes that the initiative on the front is in its hands. In addition, Putin shows at meetings with leaders of China and other countries that Russia is not isolated. Despite threats from US President Donald Trump, no strict measures have been taken in practice, which has given Moscow additional confidence.
Putin spoke of “light at the end of the tunnel.” However, analysts say that Russia and the West are moving in different directions, and the likelihood of an agreement in the near future is very low.
