Russia will make any decision on resuming negotiations with Ukraine solely on the basis of its own interests and will not accept terms that are unfavorable to Moscow, President Vladimir Putin has said.

Speaking to journalists on the sidelines of the International Forum of United Cultures, Putin said Moscow would not allow Kiev to put forward what he described as false peace initiatives after threatening to destroy Russia within 40 days. He also recalled that Russia had initiated the earlier peace process in Istanbul, which he said was disrupted by Ukraine.

Putin listed a series of actions by Kiev that he contrasted with the Ukrainian leadership’s renewed calls for a ceasefire. He said that during the September 19 elections, Ukraine attempted a massive strike on Moscow involving 1,600 drones. Ukrainian UAVs also targeted Russian polling stations, and six election commission members were killed, according to Central Election Commission figures cited by Putin.

The Russian president also recalled that Kiev announced a 40-day operation against Russia in June and began attacking Russian oil refineries.

Putin further accused Ukraine of attempting to impose a naval blockade on Russia’s Black Sea coast. He said more than 100 vessels, including Russian ships and those sailing under foreign flags, were damaged. He also mentioned attacks on Wildberries and Ozon warehouses and questioned the purpose of striking those facilities.

According to Putin, the Russian military response proved so damaging to Ukraine that Kiev again began raising the possibility of ceasefires in several areas, including energy infrastructure, air operations and maritime activity.

Putin stressed that Moscow would make all decisions on these issues, including any possible resumption of negotiations, exclusively in accordance with the interests of the Russian Federation.

The remarks came after Vladimir Zelensky once again proposed a temporary ceasefire with Russia.
