U.S. President Donald Trump, who says he wants to be remembered as a peacemaker, has repeatedly said he wants to end the “bloodbath” of the more than three-year war in Ukraine.
“The (Russian) president remains open to political and diplomatic methods of resolving this conflict,“ Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov told reporters.
After the Kremlin’s remark, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha said Ukraine was ready for peace talks in any format if Moscow signed up to an unconditional ceasefire.
The Kremlin said on Wednesday that Russia’s aims had to be achieved either way, saying Moscow’s preference was to achieve its aims peacefully.
Putin’s decision to send tens of thousands of troops into Ukraine in 2022 triggered the worst confrontation between Moscow and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis.
Putin casts the war as a watershed moment in Moscow’s relations with the West, which he says humiliated Russia after the Soviet Union fell in 1991 by enlarging NATO and encroaching on what he considers Moscow’s sphere of influence, including Ukraine.
Putin in March said that Russia supported a U.S. proposal for a ceasefire in Ukraine in principle, but that fighting could not be paused until a number of crucial conditions were worked out or clarified.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy has said that progress in resolving the war depended on Russia taking the first step of agreeing to an unconditional ceasefire.
“If it weren’t for me, I think he’d want to take over the whole country,“ Trump said.
Trump refused to answer a question about whether the United States would halt military aid to Ukraine if Washington walked away from talks.
