Putin Ready to Negotiate with All Parties To Dispute

Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed, Friday in a press conference, his readiness to negotiate acceptable solutions with all the parties involved in the Ukrainian conflict.
The president lamented the lack of a genuine will to negotiate viable solutions by the other parties to the conflict, insisting on the fact that they are the ones refusing the talks.
According to Putin, Russia is moving “in the right direction, defending our national interests and those of our citizens, and we have no choice but to protect our citizens.”
Russian President Vladimir Putin accused the West of seeking to undermine the history of Russia, and stressed that his country is keen to negotiate with Ukraine, amid ongoing battles on Ukrainian fronts.
