In an interview with the newspaper ‘India Today,’ Putin said: ‘Either we liberate these lands by force, or you leave them and stop killing people.’ Putin added: ‘We told Ukraine, and the Ukrainian forces immediately: the people do not want to live with you, they held a referendum and voted for independence. Withdraw, and there will be no military action. No, they prefer to fight. Well, enough is enough now.’
Putin pointed out that ‘reaching a consensus between the conflicting parties is not an easy task.’ Russian President Vladimir Putin held talks with Witkoff and Kushner, which lasted more than 3 hours, according to a Sputnik correspondent.
Earlier, Russian Presidential Spokesperson Dmitry Peskov stated that ‘Vladimir Putin and the U.S. Special Presidential Envoy Steve Witkoff will discuss the issues raised during their meeting with the Ukrainian delegation in Florida.’
The Kremlin press office announced last July that on December 4 and 5, at the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin will pay a state visit to the Republic of India. The statement issued by the Kremlin said: ‘At the invitation of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi, Russian President Vladimir Putin will make a state visit to the Republic of India on December 4 and 5.’
