Vladimir Putin called the Istanbul agreements a basis for negotiations on Ukraine. He emphasized that “Russia has never refused to negotiate, unlike the Ukrainian side.” The purpose of the upcoming summit in Switzerland on a Ukraine settlement is to gather “masses” and countries, then to announce the adopted resolutions as a collective decision and to present Russia with an “ultimatum.” Vladimir Putin also said Russia would not ask for peace talks on Ukraine if Moscow is not wanted there.
