Do not expect a quick conclusion of a peace agreement, Putin said to Russian entrepreneurs

The meeting took place within the Congress of the Union of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs of the Russian Federation, which is one of the most influential business lobby in the country. According to Rustamová, entrepreneurs and government officials have taken the impression that despite the publicly optimistic statement of the administration of Donald Trump, American mediated negotiations will be difficult and lengthy, writes the website The Moscow Times.

« The war and the sanctions machine will not be so easy to stop, » one of the participants was supposed to mention that the Russian President was supposed to comment on the war positively and factually. At the same time, however, the negotiations resulted in a fast ceasefire or cancellation of sanctions would be an too optimistic option.

According to The Moscow Times, these statements were said before the planned call Putin with US President Trump, who took place on Tuesday evening. After him, the Kremlin agreed that Russia would not attack the Ukrainian energy infrastructure for 30 days. However, Russian President Putin has not yet followed the possible width of the ceasefire.

« President Putin has advised us not to be naive and realize how many people and interests are involved in the current processes, » journalist Rustam quoted another source.

The third of the present was to say that Putin does not count on the abolition of sanctions to the end of the pressure of the west. « The United States and their allies will still find a way to put pressure on us, » he was supposed to hear at a private meeting.

The report of the journalist comes only shortly after the article by the Russian daily Kommersant, which suggests that Putin intends to continue military pressure and expansion in Ukrainian territory. According to this information, the Kremlin strives for President Trump to recognize the annexation of the Ukrainian regions of Cerson, Zaporoz, Donetsk, Luhansk and Crimea. In return, Moscow could abandon other territorial requirements, concludes The Moscow Times.
