Russian President Vladimir Putin said Tuesday evening that Russia is prepared to enter peace talks with Ukraine based on the draft agreements reached in Istanbul and Anchorage earlier in the conflict, according to reports. The statement marks a renewed public readiness for negotiations from Moscow after months of military operations.
The offer follows a string of diplomatic signals in recent days. As The Zioneer reported earlier Tuesday, Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov said Russia was ready to continue talks from where they left off. Over the past week, U.S. President Donald Trump has repeatedly stated he aims to push for a resolution, telling reporters that both Putin and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky are open to a settlement. German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul had earlier suggested peace talks could begin this summer.
The exact terms Putin referred to remain unspecified. The earlier Istanbul talks, held in spring 2022, centered on Ukrainian neutrality and security guarantees but collapsed. The Anchorage framework has been less publicly detailed. No immediate response from Kyiv or Western capitals has been reported.
