According to the Russian leader, he is ready to talk with “everyone involved” but noted his belief that Russia’s actions are necessary to “protect our citizens”.
The President was interviewed on state television, which was aired on Christmas Day, in which he made these statements.
Putin said: “We are ready to negotiate with everyone involved about acceptable solutions, but that is up to them – we are not the ones refusing to negotiate, they are.”
Putin continued: “I believe that we are acting in the right direction, we are defending our national interests, the interests of our citizens, our people.
“We have no other choice but to protect our citizens.”
He added: “Actually, the fundamental thing here is the policy of our geopolitical opponents which is aimed at pulling apart Russia, historical Russia.”
Ukraine fired back accusing Putin of being unrealistic about his beliefs surrounding the conflict and the actions of the West.
An adviser to Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said: “Russia single-handedly attacked Ukraine and is killing citizens.”
Mykhailo Podolyak added in his tweet: “Russia doesn’t want negotiations but tries to avoid responsibility.”
On Christmas Eve, President Zelensky gave his nation a rallying address to mark the festive period during his country’s struggles.
