Says that China is providing a lot of help.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that, in his view, there are “chances to end the war with Ukraine,” and that negotiating the end of the war should be done by its direct participants—Ukraine and Russia. He made this statement 3 in September during the Eastern Economic Forum in Russia.
The head of the Kremlin stated that “other countries are ready to support and help,” and apparently the matter concerns not only the United States, but also China, which “constantly takes note of this and helps to ensure that the problem is resolved.”
“But still, first and foremost, the countries involved in the conflict: Russia and Ukraine, must resolve this problem. That is the correct approach. But we are grateful to everyone who is trying to contribute to settling this issue. Is there a chance? Yes, in my view there is,” Putin said.
At the same time, he added that strikes against Russian ships and “threats of attacks on civilian aircraft” complicate the prospects for peace negotiations.
“That is, of course, a manifestation of state terrorism. … Those who remain silent and do not pay attention become accomplices to international terrorism,” said the president of a country that has publicly announced strikes on civilian infrastructure in Ukraine and regularly shells Ukrainian cities and villages.
He specified that he “primarily means Western allies of Ukraine.”
Meanwhile, the Russian autocrat decided to reassure voters on the key issue of the necessity of continuing the war in Ukraine—the mobilization—and stated that “such a necessity does not exist,” all the rumors, as it were, are spread by Ukraine, and “people are going to fight voluntarily.”
As a reminder, in recent days President Zelensky warned airlines, insurers, and countries that still use key airports in Russia that its airspace is becoming completely dangerous due to Ukrainian drones and missiles with which Kyiv responds to Moscow’s aggression. After that, Infrastructure Minister Mykola Kalyashnik urged ICAO to ban civil flights over the Russian Federation, warning that Ukraine will respond to the air terror intensified by the aggressor, in accordance with the right to self-defense provided by Article 51 of the UN Charter.
Ukraine’s warning led to a fall in the value of securities of Russian airlines, in particular Aeroflot’s shares fell by more than 5%. In addition, airports in Russia, including Moscow, ceased operations for a second night in a row.
