Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in an interview with India Today that some proposals from the US plan to end the war in Ukraine are unacceptable for the Kremlin, saying that any agreement is still far from being concluded. He also spoke about the negotiations with Witkoff, which he said took a very long time. “It lasted 5 hours. Honestly, even I got tired. Five hours is too much,” Putin said.
Putin stated that his five-hour talks on Tuesday at the Kremlin with Witkoff and Kushner were “necessary” and “useful”, but also “hard work”, and some proposals were unacceptable.
Putin spoke to India Today TV before landing in New Delhi on Thursday for a state visit. Before the full interview was broadcast, Russian state news agencies Tass and RIA Novosti quoted some of his remarks.
Tass agency quoted Putin as saying that, in Tuesday’s discussions, the parties “had to go through each point” of the US peace plan, “which is why it took so long”.
