Speaking during the summit in China, Putin continued to defend his decision to invade Ukraine, again accusing the war in the West.

Subsequent Alaska meetingUS Special Messenger Steve Witcoof said that Putin agreed on security guarantees for Ukraine as part of a potential future peace deal, although Moscow has not yet confirmed it.

Putin performed at Tianjin at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization summit, where he met Xi Jinping and Narendra Modi.

He also attributed the war “the constant attempts of the West to drag Ukraine to NATO.”

The President of Russia invariably opposes the idea of ​​Ukraine, which joined the Western Military Alliance.

It was in 2014 that Putin confiscated Crimea, and Russian proxies seized part of Eastern Ukraine. Through the years, in February 2022, Then Putin ordered Russia’s full -scale invasion of Ukraine.

Trump insisted that “Ukraine” would not “go to NATO” as part of a peaceful deal.

But he also hinted that there were security guarantees, saying that Europe was the “first line of defense” and that the United States would participate.

“We will give them good protection,” he said, although he said that it would not mean sending us troops to Ukraine.

President Steve Witcof’s special messenger also said CNN what about that Putin agreed to security guarantees.

He said it would see the US and Europe “effectively offer a language similar to an article to cover the security guarantee”, citing the NATO position, which states that the Member States should protect another member.

Zelensky said he expects the safety guarantees to be laid out on paper as soon as this week.

But last Friday, Russia criticized Western proposals as “unilateral and clearly designed to maintain Russia”, adding that it turned into a “strategic provocateur”.

Russian attacks are also ongoing. Last Thursday, Moscow released 629 drones and rockets in Kiev, killed 23 people in one of the biggest air attacks of the war so far, which caused indignation by European leaders.

Since then, Germany and France have pledged to put pressure on Russia to agree to the deal.
