Vladimir Putin said a U.S. delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow in the first half of next week to discuss the latest American proposal to end the Kremlin’s war in Ukraine.
Speaking at a press conference during a visit to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday, Putin said no draft peace agreement had been agreed to in recent talks between the U.S. and Ukraine, only a list of issues to be discussed.
Putin also said it was “pointless” to sign any documents with Ukraine’s current leadership, alleging that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lacked legitimacy to do so.
Probably not, the way Russia is right now it’s more likely some nationalist military commander fills that power vacuum then a sane democratic regime.
It wouldn’t necessarily take a sane democratic regime to end the war. A military dictator could just as well do that. It is not their project but very specifically Putin’s project, and a military dictator could use the military power expended in the war much better elsewhere.
