Putin: it is Russia and Ukraine that must reach an agreement between themselves

It is Russia and Ukraine that must reach an agreement between themselves, while other countries can only support and help.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said this at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum (EEF).

"First of all, Russia and Ukraine must reach an agreement between themselves. And all the other countries are ready to support and help. And not only the United States, but also the countries present here," Putin said. According to him, for example, the People's Republic of China constantly draws attention to this and in every way facilitates the resolution of the problem, primarily by peaceful means. "Chairman Xi Jinping, when we meet with him, also constantly raises this issue," the Russian leader said.
