Putin Ready To Resume Negotiations Talks With Ukraine Without Preconditions, Says Kremlin

Russian President Vladimir Putin has reaffirmed his readiness to resume negotiations talks with Ukraine without any preconditions. According to Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, Putin reiterated this stance during a meeting with Donald Trump’s envoy, Witkoff, underscoring that Russia remains open to dialogue.

“During yesterday’s talks with Trump’s envoy Witkoff, Vladimir Putin reiterated that Russia is ready to resume negotiations with Ukraine without any preconditions,” said Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov, NDTV reported.

Meanwhile, hours after meeting Volodymyr Zelenskyy in Rome, United States President Donald Trump on Saturday accused Russian President Vladimir Putin of launching missile strikes on civilian areas in recent days.

Taking the post-Truth Social, Trump said, “There was no reason for Putin to be shooting missiles into civilian areas, cities and towns, over the last few days. It makes me think that maybe he doesn’t want to stop the war, he’s just tapping me along and has to be dealt with differently, through ‘Banking’ or ‘Secondary Sanctions?’ Too many people are dying.”
