According to the Kremlin dictator, there is a chance for constructive peace talks regarding the war in Ukraine.
At the same time, Putin believes that "it is primarily up to Russia and Ukraine to reach an agreement between themselves".
The dictator claims that countries such as the US and China are constantly focusing on this issue "and are doing everything they can to ensure that the problem is resolved, first and foremost, by peaceful means".
"When I meet with Chinese President Xi Jinping, he also constantly raises this issue," he said.
"But ultimately, this problem must first and foremost be resolved by the countries involved in the conflict. That is Russia and Ukraine. This is the correct approach. But we are grateful to everyone who is trying to contribute to the resolution of this issue," said the dictator.
Putin also claims that Ukraine and Russia continue to maintain contact through their intelligence services.
"There are contacts. They are ongoing, on an ongoing basis. Primarily through the security services," he added.
