Russia Will Make Any Decisions on Possible Resumption of Negotiations With Ukraine Based on Its Own Interests: Putin
▪The Ukrainian side interrupted the talks in Istanbul, but a couple of weeks before the elections declared its readiness to resume negotiations, the president stated.
▪The Kiev regime must understand that no escalation will lead to anything good, he said. On the night of September 20, the enemy attempted a massive strike on Moscow, attacking residential buildings and election commission staff, Putin recalled. It sought to frighten Russians and SPIEF guests in June but failed, the president continued. Russia’s response, including to strikes on civilian infrastructure, proved substantial, he emphasized.
▪The adversary currently has no way to counter Russian Geran drones.
▪Russia is not preparing for military operations with Europe; there are no grounds for this, Putin stated. He called the statement by the head of Estonia’s Defense Ministry about a possible conflict with Russia a provocation.
▪All proposals for a peaceful settlement are “on the table,” but Russia still needs to consider what is in its interests.
▪Putin called the statements by the head of Estonia’s Defense Ministry about the benefit of a preventive attack on Russia a political circus.
▪Putin reported that he is prepared to take part in the APEC summit in China, but this will depend on the situation in the country.
