Russian President Vladimir Putin told Chancellor Olaf Scholz on Friday that the West is turning blind eye to Rocket Attack by Kiev in Donetsk.
In a phone conversation, Putin called Scholz’s attention to rocket strikes by the Ukrainian military of the cities of Donetsk and Makeevka, the Kremlin press service has stated.
The Russian president stressed that these strikes amount to “war crimes”, but were still completely ignored by the West.
Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also addressed recent claims by US President Biden, who called Putin a “murderous dictator”, a “pure thug”, and a “war criminal” in his latest speeches, saying that his statements had already turned into daily insults.
Peskov added that such statements should be unacceptable for a president of a country that has killed hundreds of thousands around the world with its bombs.
“Considering such irritability of Biden, his fatigue, sometimes forgetfulness that leads to aggressive statements, we will not give harsh assessments [of his statements] so as not to cause more aggression”, the spokesman said.
In his conversation with Olaf Scholz, Putin touched upon the ongoing Russia-Ukraine talks, saying that Kiev is trying to drag out the negotiations by making more and more unrealistic proposals. He added that Russia nonetheless continues to search for solutions to negotiate a deal to end the hostilities.
Peskov said that the text of an agreement is yet to be negotiated and added that the Russian delegation is ready to work at a faster pace. He expressed regret that the Ukrainian side does not show a similar intent.
