BBC berichtet, dass der russische Präsident Wladimir Putin vor Reportern gesagt hat, er glaube, dass der Konflikt Russlands mit der Ukraine zu Ende gehe, nachdem in Moskau eine Militärparade in kleinerem Umfang stattgefunden hatte, die den sowjetischen Sieg im Zweiten Weltkrieg markierte.
"Ich denke, die Sache geht zu Ende," sagte er und bezog sich dabei auf die "besondere militärische Operation" in der Ukraine und verurteilte gleichzeitig die westliche Unterstützung für die Kiewer Regierung.
Putin sagte, er habe gehört, dass Selenskyj zu einem persönlichen Treffen bereit sei, fügte aber hinzu "Dies ist nicht das erste Mal, dass wir solche Aussagen hören".
Putin sagte, er sei bereit, neue Sicherheitsvereinbarungen für Europa auszuhandeln, und sein bevorzugter Verhandlungspartner sei Deutschlands ehemaliger Bundeskanzler Gerhard Schröder:
"Auch ein Treffen in einem Drittland ist möglich, allerdings erst, wenn endgültige Einigungen über einen Friedensvertrag für eine langfristige historische Perspektive erzielt wurden, an dieser Veranstaltung teilzunehmen und (Vertrag) zu unterzeichnen, es muss aber ein letzter Schritt sein," er fuhr fort.

Yeah and my dad told me he would come back
So he didn’t say anything definite. This is starting to resemble the Greek philosopher’s paradox about the race between Achilles and the tortoise, where the tortoise can never be caught.
I mean he already has almost all the regions he wanted, so he’s probably going to suggest to stop the fighting where it is.
Putin also declared „Russia will always be victorious“. Putin only gained power from Russia’s failed war in Afghanistan (Dec 1979 to Feb 1989).
I think we could see an end next year but it will be more on Ukraines terms because they have a better position now.
Putin knows support from the west is on shaky grounds. If he declares an extended ceasefire, halts combat operations and makes calls for peace, but Ukraine keeps striking with drones and missiles, it makes Ukraine look like the aggressors who want the war to continue, potentially further eroding support from the west. This puts Ukraine in a critical situation; they are having manpower shortage and need further Western aid, but haven’t yet reclaimed their lost territories. The outcome would depend entirely on if the EU keeps up aid, which can get blocked now that Bulgaria has a pro-Russia leader, or if Ukraine can go at it alone betting on Russia’s economy collapsing before their own manpower shortage.
What is Russia going to do? Stop the war machine they’ve turned their hollowed out economy into? Return a million untrained, undisciplined, angry and disease riddled soldiers home as a failure to a ruined economy and no jobs? That went well for them the last time the Russian army rerurned home a failure.
Russia was on a slow track to collapse even before their botched invasion of Ukraine. One could argue this was one of the reasons for invading in the first place, to capture new Ukrainian blood for their dying demographics. Even if Russia stopped their invasion today, there is not likely to be any meaningful recovery for them. Doomed if they do, doomed if they don’t. Last time Russia collapsed they had to be bailed out by the US and other Western countries. This time they won’t be so lucky.
>“A meeting in a third country is also possible
The previous trilateral talks were interrupted by the Iran War. Is it possible for Europe to join the talks now?
Given the current situation of the UAE, it is probably not a suitable third country.
Is this just the style of authoritarians these days?
„The Iran conflict is coming to an end“

Schröder has been on his payroll for ages (Gazprom board). I would also love to negotiate with employee of mine…
