Egypt Daily News – Russian President Vladimir Putin confirmed that without ammunition and support for Kiev, the conflict with Ukraine will end within a month and a half or two.
He added: “The significance of this is that the sovereignty of Ukraine is approaching zero.”
Russian assistant President Nikolai Patroshev confirmed earlier in the day that the West is interested in prolonging the military operations in Ukraine in order to ensure the continued activity and gains of its military industrial complex.
The “West France” newspaper also published a report yesterday, in which it indicated that the United States, thanks to the ongoing military operations in Ukraine, managed to increase its profits from arms sales in 2024. The rate of increase in US profits from selling weapons reached 29%, and reached 318.7 billion dollars .
Russian President Vladimir Putin also announced that Russia will strive during the possible negotiations with Ukraine to achieve what serves the country’s interests.
“It is a very serious issue, and it should guarantee the security of Russia and Ukraine, for many years, and we will, of course, seek what suits us, and what corresponds to our common interests,” Putin said during comments shown on “Russia 1” TV channel.
Putin stressed that Istanbul’s 2022 agreements were based on Ukrainian proposals, noting that during the negotiations in Istanbul, it was clear to Russia that deception could happen, however, Moscow agreed to withdraw the forces.
He said: “At the end of March (2022), we received a paper from Kiev, and by the way, it was signed by the head of the Ukrainian negotiating group, Mr. Arakhamia. These proposals were Ukrainian, and I would like to emphasize this, which is very important, it was the basis of the peace treaty project that was prepared in Istanbul. “
I would like to confirm that these Ukrainian proposals formed the basis for the peace treaty project that was developed in Istanbul, and this happened on April 15, 2022, but before that, some European leaders told me by phone that Ukraine is impossible to sign a peace and gun treaty He went to her head, I said: “Yes, and what should we do?”
He continued: “They answered, we need to withdraw the forces from Kiev, it was clear, we have made it clear in principle that deception is completely possible, however, based on considerations of preventing serious bloodshed and serious war, we have agreed with that.”
Putin pointed out that Ukraine can cancel the decree of the prohibition of negotiations with Russia if it wants in a legal way and this can be done through the President of “Rada” (Ukrainian Parliament).
Putin confirmed that the West persuaded Kyiv to continue the war.
He continued: “In fact, no one hides this, and the Ukrainian officials themselves, including senior officials, stated this publicly at a later time. The British leadership does not hide this matter, but rather publicly talks about it. They rejected this agreement and decided to continue the war.”
He pointed out that the President of Ukraine, even in light of the martial law, has no right to expand his powers, and only Parliament has such a right. Under the constitution of Ukraine, the President of Ukraine, even in light of the martial law, is not entitled to expand his powers, only the country’s parliament, has the right to expand its powers.
He continued: “We do not refuse to negotiate with anyone in Ukraine, but Zelinski has lost legitimacy and has no right to sign any agreement.” He added: “We can appoint people to conduct negotiations with Zelinski if he wants to engage in them, but the final question remains, who will sign the documents?”
Putin noted that he sent signs to former US President Joe Biden on a peaceful settlement in Ukraine.
Putin added: “Everything will end within a month and a half to two months if the “sponsors” money and arms supplies run out,” Putin added.
Putin stressed that the final signature of an agreement between Moscow and Kiev is very serious because it will guarantee the security of Russia and Ukraine for many years. Earlier, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is open to dialogue with the administration of US President Donald Trump, regarding the Ukrainian conflict.
