Putin Says Russia Won’t Make Concessions to End War on Ukraine

President Vladimir Putin said Russia is open to a “reasonable compromise” but won’t make any concessions to end its war in Ukraine.

“We aren’t going to make any concessions here, there will be no trades,” Putin said in an interview with Russian state television published on Friday, after he’d hosted a summit of BRICS countries in Kazan. “We are ready to make reasonable compromises, but I don‘t want to go into details right now because there are no substantive negotiations.”
