Ready To Meet Donald Trump "Anytime" To Discuss Ukraine Agreement: Vladimir Putin 


Donald Trump, expected to return to the White House in January, has ignited concerns in Kyiv that he might compel Ukraine to agree to a peace settlement beneficial to Moscow. 


On Thursday, Russian Federation President Vladimir Putin expressed his willingness for discussions with US President-elect Donald Trump at "any time," lamenting that he did not initiate Moscow's full-scale military offensive sooner.


Trump, set to make his return to the White House in January, has advocated for the start of negotiations, heightening Kyiv's fears that he may pressure Ukraine into accepting peace terms that favor Moscow.


During his annual news conference at the end of the year, the 72-year-old leader declared that his forces dominated the battlefield.


His comments came as Kyiv reported that Russian assaults on northeastern Ukraine had resulted in three fatalities, while Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky engaged in discussions with European Union leaders in Brussels.


Putin articulated his statements with confidence yet had to concede that he was unaware when Russia would reclaim the areas of the Kursk region currently controlled by Kyiv since August. The time-honored yearly question-and-answer sessions are mostly a televised event, but they also serve as a unique opportunity for Putin to face some challenging inquiries.


Putin addressed the audience for nearly four and a half hours.


In response to questions about Trump’s overtures concerning a potential peace agreement, Putin indicated that he would be open to a discussion with the incoming Republican leader.


"I have no idea when I will meet him. He hasn’t offered any statements regarding it. I haven’t conversed with him for more than four years. I am certainly prepared for it. Any time," Putin remarked.


"If we ever arrange a meeting with President-elect Trump, I am confident we will have an abundance to discuss," he noted, adding that Russia is prepared for "negotiations and compromises." 


Kursk offensive 


For months, Russian forces have been progressing in eastern Ukraine, with Putin continually emphasizing their capabilities on the battlefield.


However, when a woman from the Kursk region inquired when residents might return to their homes, after numerous individuals were evacuated from battlefront zones during the Ukrainian offensive, Putin stated he was unable to provide a timeline.


"We will undoubtedly expel them. Undoubtedly. There’s no other alternative. Nevertheless, regarding a specific date, I apologize, I cannot provide that information right now," he responded.


Additionally, Putin faced inquiries about the economic challenges facing Russia, including the repercussions from a significant increase in military expenditure and severe labor shortages resulting from the ongoing conflict.


He maintained that the situation was "stable, despite external pressures," highlighting low unemployment rates and industrial expansion.

Israel says Rafah is Hamas' last stronghold in the Gaza Strip. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to continue the long-running offensive against the southern Gaza town of Rafah, regardless of Hamas' response to calls for a new ceasefire and the return of Israeli hostages. Hopes for an end to the conflict have risen in recent days, with Egypt once again calling for the resumption of negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
