Russia is still willing to negotiate
In response to a question about his phone conversation with German Chancellor Olaf Schultz after 2 years, the Russian President said: “It may be strange, but we are in contact with many countries with which we have difficult relations. The German chancellor was the first European leader to break the current silence, but it didn’t shock me. We had received messages about his desire for a phone call, and as you know, we have never shied away from a conversation, and this call lasted almost an hour, and we mainly talked about Ukraine. This call was not a strange issue, he explained his point of view, I also explained my point of view to him.

In order to withdraw from the democratic process and accuse Russia of interfering in these countries, he stated: “Despite Russia’s close relations with the countries of the former Soviet Union and mutual respect Between Russia and Georgia, we have never interfered in their elections.

In response to another question about Russia’s readiness to negotiate over Ukraine, he said: “Russia has always announced its conditions for peace, and I think that there are certain conditions for achieving lasting peace, and I announced the details in June.” . We have enough weapons and we all know that the use of weapons such as Orshnik will help strengthen Russia’s military position. Orshnik is not a nuclear weapon, but the use of several Orshnik missiles will have the same effect as a nuclear weapon.
Putin stated: “Our approach to Ukraine has not changed, we are still ready to negotiate based on the announced conditions. Nothing has changed.”
In response to another question, the Russian president said: “Armenia has not yet announced its withdrawal from the Collective Security Treaty Organization and supports all the documents of the organization’s summit.”

There is a risk of involvement of western experts
Asked about Moscow’s response to Ukraine’s recent aggression against Russia using Western weapons, the Russian president said: “They received our response. Our armed forces carried out missile attacks against 17 military and industrial targets in Ukraine with 90 missiles and 100 drones for 2 days. But there is a risk of the presence and interference of Western experts.”
Putin went on to say: “The West has always ignored our warnings, and NATO, violating its previous agreements, expanded towards the East and ignored the dangers caused by this action against Russia.” “European leaders were saying that we know you are against Ukraine’s entry into NATO and we will prevent it, but they continued their destructive actions.”
He stated: “They (Europeans) are dancing to the tune of American leaders.” Europe does whatever America says. They are even willing to follow America at the cost of their interests. It seems that the senior leaders of Europe, including the heads of Germany, are following America. “They (Europeans) are doing America’s orders, ignoring the welfare and wishes of their citizens.”
The Russian president added: “Instead of using cheap Russian fuel, they are willing to use American energy at a multiple price. Like some European leaders, Russia also wants to return the territorial integrity of Europe so that Europe can be an independent power again.
In response to a question about the escalation of tensions with US President Joe Biden and how it affects Russia’s possible relations with the US President-elect Donald Trump’s administration, he said: “We don’t know what Trump’s approach will be, or what he will say during his meeting with Biden about What topics did he talk about? There are many options.”
Putin stated: “Trump is a smart person and I hope he is a cautious person. More than anything, I was shocked by the shameless actions of the US government to attack Trump and his family during his race against Biden. Even criminals in Russia have nothing to do with children and women, and this act is shameless. Most of all… completely uncivilized means were used in the fight against Trump, completely uncivilized, to the point of attempted murder. By the way, I don’t think he is safe. This shows the catastrophic collapse of politics in America.”
Putin emphasized that Russia is ready to talk with America.
