We are interested in bringing the end of the war closer. Peace is needed. Security guarantees are needed. A just and sustainable postwar peace is needed. Our proposals are prepared.

As we did during previous diplomatic visits by U.S. officials, we will ensure the normal functioning of Russian airspace so that the negotiators can arrive safely. It’s them we care about, not Russia. We will not carry out any airstrikes.

Today we received information from the American side about the meetings that took place in Moscow in recent days. There have been a number of meetings there. We had spoken beforehand, and we have also spoken with the American side now. I…
