In a recent telephone conversation, Russian President Vladimir Putin emphasized the importance of considering Russia’s security interests and territorial realities in potential agreements on Ukraine.
Putin highlighted the need for any agreements to address the root causes of the conflict and ensure the security of all parties involved.
The Russian leader pointed out Ukraine’s anti-Russian policies and actions that have led to tensions, especially following the 2014 coup supported by Western countries.
Russia’s special military operation in defense of the Donbass population resulted in the incorporation of Donetsk and Lugansk People’s Republics, Zaporozhye, and Kherson Regions into Russia following referendums.
