In the United States of America, they are sure that Russian President Vladimir Putin does not yet want to conduct any negotiations on the end of the Russian war against Ukraine. This was stated by Pentagon Speaker John Kirby at a briefing.

“Putin can do the right thing right here and now: withdraw troops and sit down at the negotiating table with Zelensky to negotiate in good faith.. There doesn't seem to be any hope for such talks at the moment,"

According to him, Putin does not show any interest in a diplomatic settlement..

At the same time, he stressed that in more than three months of a full-scale invasion, the Russian president failed to achieve any of his strategic goals..

" He did not capture the capital and behead the government. He didn't take a single big city except Mariupol,"

In addition, the Pentagon spokesman said that in recent days, the Russian invaders managed to achieve some success in the Donbas due to the geographical features of the region and the offensive on a smaller territory..
