Peace or war? Putin urges US to work with European countries to make them decide what they want

Russia would like the United States to work with European countries to help them decide what they want: peace or war. Russian President Vladimir Putin made the remarks during a meeting with US representatives at the Kremlin, Rosbalt writes.

The issue of Europe’s involvement in efforts to resolve the conflict was also raised by US Special Envoy Jared Kushner. According to Kushner, Washington sees a willingness among European countries to join the negotiations and work towards ending the conflict in Ukraine.

Kushner also said that the United States had begun discussions with European partners on the architecture of security on the continent. He expressed hope that the meeting at the Kremlin would provide an opportunity to explore ways to bring the conflict in Ukraine to an end.

Earlier in the talks, Putin stated that foreign troops deployed in Ukraine would constitute legitimate targets for the Russian Armed Forces.

The meeting is attended by US President’s special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
