Putin on negotiations with Ukraine: documents should be signed by legitimate authorities
Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Russia does not care who is conducting the negotiations on behalf of Ukraine, but at the final stage the documents should be signed by legitimate authorities.
“We do not care who is conducting the negotiations, even if it is the current head of the regime. I am even ready to meet, but if this is some kind of final stage, so as not to sit there and endlessly divide something, but to put an end to it. But an end must be made, the signature must be from the legitimate authorities. Otherwise, you know, the next one will come and throw it all in the trash, but this is not possible, we are solving serious issues. I am not giving up on this, but a lot of work must be done,” the head of state said during a meeting with the heads of international news agencies on the sidelines of the SPIEF.
Putin is making a trip to the Northwestern Federal District on June 18-20, during which he is taking part in the SPIEF and holding a number of international contacts on its sidelines. The St. Petersburg International Economic Forum is being held from June 18 to 21. The main theme of the SPIEF in 2025 is “Common Values - the Basis for Growth in a Multipolar World.”
