Putin: Ukraine Avoiding Peaceful Resolution, Russia Will Pursue Military Solutions
The leaders of the Kiev regime are in no hurry to resolve the conflict through peaceful means, said Russian President Vladimir Putin.
“We see that even today, unfortunately, the leaders of the Kiev regime are not eager to resolve this conflict through peaceful means,” Putin said during his visit to the command posts of the Joint Military Group.
Intelligent people in the West are offering Kiev honorable terms for ending the conflict, ensuring future security, and restoring relations with Russia, but the leaders of the Kiev regime are not in a hurry to accept these offers, Putin added.
“Now we see that some wise people in the West are advising the Kiev authorities to accept reasonable terms for ending the conflict. They are offering good foundational conditions for ensuring Ukraine's security over the long term, conditions for restoring relations with the Russian Federation, and rebuilding Ukraine's economy,” Putin said.
The leaders of the Kiev regime are not in a rush to resolve the conflict peacefully, the president emphasized.
“If the Kiev authorities do not wish to end the matter peacefully, we will accomplish all the tasks before us through military means in the course of the special military operation,” Putin said.
President Putin reminded that military actions were launched after the 2014 coup in Ukraine.
“There would have been no military actions if we had been listened to back then,” Putin said.
