(Archyde.com, Moscow, 22nd) Russian President Vladimir Putin told leaders of the Group of 20 (G20) members today that it is necessary to think about how to stop “this tragedy” of the Ukraine war. This is Putin’s latest response to this conflict so far. One of the most reassuring speeches.
Vladimir Putin decided to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, triggering the deadliest conflict in Europe since World War II and the most serious confrontation between Russia and the West since the height of the Cold War.
Today’s video summit was convened by Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. It was also Putin’s first speech to G20 leaders since the war between Russia and Ukraine.
He said some leaders mentioned in their speeches that they were shocked by Russia’s continued “aggression” in Ukraine.
“Yes, of course, military operations are always tragic,” Putin said.
“And we should certainly think about how to stop this tragedy. … By the way, Russia has never refused peace talks with Ukraine.”
Putin also used the word “war” to describe the conflict between Russia and Ukraine, instead of the Kremlin’s term “special military operation.”
Although Putin’s remarks were obviously deliberately intended for the ears of various countries, they were still his most moderate remarks on the Russia-Ukraine war in several months, and were in contrast to his sometimes long speeches criticizing the failure and arrogance of the United States.
The war in Ukraine since February 2022 has caused hundreds of thousands of casualties, displaced millions of people, and destroyed large tracts of land in southern and eastern Ukraine. Central News Agency (translation)
