Russian President Vladimir Putin expresses willingness for a ceasefire but demands long-term peace terms during a joint press conference with Belarus.
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that Russia is open to a ceasefire proposal regarding the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, contingent upon the establishment of a durable peace that addresses the root causes of the crisis.
Speaking alongside Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, Putin emphasized that the cessation of hostilities must lead to a long-term resolution.
He mentioned the need to discuss specific issues, particularly regarding the Kursk region.
This comes amid ongoing international efforts to mediate peace talks, where various stakeholders are considering frameworks to facilitate a cessation of violence.
Meanwhile, in the context of European defense discussions, Italy's political landscape remains divided regarding its military support for Ukraine.
The ruling party, Brothers of Italy, demonstrated internal splits as they abstained from voting on a resolution supportive of Ukraine, citing concerns over perceived biases in the text against the United States.
This division reflects broader geopolitical tensions as European nations navigate their responses to the conflict in Ukraine and the implications of increased defense spending.
Future dialogues are anticipated in upcoming European Union and NATO meetings, where defense strategies will be a central focus.
