Story summary

On September 25, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that all peace proposals regarding the ongoing war with Ukraine remain under consideration, though Russia needs to evaluate its own interests first. Addressing Russian journalists, Putin claimed that Ukraine initiated provocative attacks during recent parliamentary elections, hitting polling stations and disrupting voting processes. He warned that Ukraine would face further retaliation for these actions, emphasizing that they were the ones who escalated tensions across all fronts. Putin suggested that Ukraine's demands for a ceasefire and renewed negotiations are reactions to their own aggressive moves, adding that Russia is prepared to resume discussions with Kyiv but on Moscow’s terms.
