Russia's President Vladimir Putin criticizes the scheduled round of Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland, stating that Moscow will not accept any enforced plans that ignore its interests.
MOSCOW —Russia’s President Vladimir Putin on Thursday mocked a scheduled round of Ukraine peace talks in Switzerland , warning that Moscow will not accept any enforced plans that ignore its interests.
Putin charged that Russia hadn’t been invited to join June’s talks, while pointing at Swiss recognition that a peace process can’t happen without Russia. Russia has dismissed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s peace formula requiring Moscow to pull back its troops, pay compensation to Ukraine and face an international tribunal for its action.
Putin has repeatedly said that he sent troops into Ukraine in February 2022 to protect Russian interests and prevent Ukraine from posing a major security threat to Russia by joining NATO. Kyiv and its allies have denounced Russia’s military campaign as an unprovoked act of aggression.
