Russian President Vladimir Putin has claimed that Russia is supposedly ready for a peaceful solution to the war it has unleashed against Ukraine, but only on the condition that the territories it has captured will be taken into account and Moscow is provided with guarantees.

Quote from Putin: “Are we ready for negotiations? Yes, we are, but we are only willing to negotiate based on the realities that have emerged, as they say in such cases, on the ground, rather than on some kind of fantasies created by psychotropic medications.”
Details: Russia’s president added that “possible negotiations are not a pause for rearming Kyiv, but a serious conversation with security guarantees for Moscow.”
Putin claimed he already knew the “carrots [e.g. incentives] they are going to offer him” to prove that the right time had come for talks.
Quote from Putin: “[Their] nose is in cocaine now, right? Well, it doesn’t matter, it’s even easier with such people. It’s tougher with the smart ones, they are more dangerous as they influence the consciousness of society, including ours. They will toss out all sorts of their desires under the guise of carrots for us.”
