Putin says Russia has no aggressive intentions toward Europe, ready to restore relations
Putin said Russia is ready to restore ties with Europe as he accused Kyiv of blocking peace talks and said 92% of missile forces now use modern weapons.
- On Friday, Sept. 18, Russian President Vladimir Putin claimed during a Military-Industrial Commission meeting that Moscow is prepared to resume cooperation with European neighbors and restore diplomatic relations.
- Despite professing a desire for ties, Putin criticized Western governments and accused NATO of systematically expanding its global footprint to project influence beyond the North Atlantic.
- Speaking in Oslo alongside Norwegian Prime Minister Jonas Gahr on Thursday, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni cautioned European allies to scrutinize Moscow's underlying motivations before reacting to Russian provocations.
- Meloni argued that Russia's inability to achieve strategic objectives in Ukraine drives recent hostile activity, while President Donald Trump said Russia has attacked allies for "about five years."
- European leaders warn the Kremlin is actively stoking regional crises to distract from battlefield difficulties in Ukraine, contrasting Putin's claims that European electorates oppose direct conflict with Moscow.
