During French President Emmanuel Macron’s official visit to Washington, Biden said on Thursday that the Russian president would be willing to talk to Putin if he really had an interest in ending the conflict.

The American president said, “If he’s looking for a way to end the war (…) I’m ready to talk to Putin. He hasn’t done that yet.”

Peskov said on Friday that Putin is willing to speak up to ensure Russia’s interests are respected, but Washington’s stance makes any dialogue difficult.

“The U.S. government does not recognize the new regions as part of the Russian Federation,” Peskov said, referring to the regions of Ukraine that the Kremlin claims to have annexed. said.

In September, Moscow conducted polls in four regions of Ukraine (Donetsk, Lugansk, Zaporizhzhia and Kherson) and announced that residents had voted in favor of joining Russia. The UN General Assembly condemned the “illegal annexation” of territories.

Peskov said Putin tried several times to meet with NATO, the OSCE and the United States before sending troops to Ukraine on February 24, but these attempts were “unsuccessful”.
