"Makes everything possible": in the United States reacted to Putin's statements about negotiations

According to John Kirby's White House representative, the Russian president does not behave as a person who is ready to negotiate, but tries to "kneel Ukrainians". The White House believes that the statements about the readiness of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin are not true for peace talks. This was stated by Strategic Communications Coordinator at the US National Security Council at the White House John Kirby during a briefing on January 3.

The White House representative noted that despite the report in the press about Vladimir Putin's desire to negotiate, the Russian president does not behave as a person ready for dialogue. John Kirby pointed out that in the last few days the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been struck by rockets and drones in Ukraine, aiming not only for military facilities. According to him, the invaders try to attack the infrastructure to use winter as weapons. "He (Vladimir Putin, ed.

) Is doing his best to try to put Ukrainians on his knees, so it is so important that the request for additional funding put forward by the president is accepted," Kirby said. The official also noted that before the New Year the United States had handed over a package of military assistance to Ukraine, but for further assistance in Kiev requires the approval of Congress.

We will remind, on January 2 the adviser to the head of the Presidential Office Mikhail Podolyak stated that the liquidation of the President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin is not enough to start negotiations between Ukraine and Russia. He also noted that the Russian opposition does not affect any processes within the Russian Federation.
