Russia has said for any peace talk to hold, the West must
recognize ‘new territories’ seized from Ukraine.
BBC reported that this is coming after US President, Joe
Biden indicated that he would be ready to meet Russian President, Vladimir
Putin.
“If in fact there is an interest in him deciding that he’s
looking for a way to end the war”, President Biden told reporters.
Moscow said it was open to negotiations, but not on the
West’s demand to pull out of Ukraine.
It was also reported that, on Friday, German Chancellor,
Olaf Scholz has spoken to President Vladimir Putin for the first time since
September, where during the hour-long engagement, Berlin said the German leader
had urged his counterpart to find a diplomatic solution that involved pulling
Russian troops out of Ukraine “as soon as possible”.
In its response, Kremlin said Putin had also urged Berlin to
“reconsider its approaches in the context of the Ukrainian events”.
Recall that the West is accusing Russia of waging war on
Ukraine as well as illegally annexing four of its regions.
