Quote: “Türkiye also presented an initiative concerning the Black Sea situation: to ensure safe shipping, establish certain agreements and reach security arrangements regarding nuclear energy facilities.”
Details: Putin claimed he had agreed to the proposal, but afterwards Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy unveiled the Victory Plan, which Putin said nullified the possibility of talks.
When asked to rate the chances of resolving the war with Ukraine on a scale of one to ten, Putin said he found it inappropriate to give any numbers or scores.
Background: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on 21 September that halting Russian aerial attacks on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure and cargo ships could pave the way for talks to end the war.
