Russian President Vladimir Putin has expressed readiness to engage in negotiations and compromise on the Ukraine conflict. During his annual press conference, Putin stated that Russian forces are advancing towards achieving their primary goals on the battlefield in Ukraine, taking control of territory daily. He emphasized Russia's willingness to negotiate without preconditions, but highlighted that any talks must be based on agreements reached during the Istanbul negotiations in 2022 and reflect the current realities on the ground. Putin also mentioned his openness to discuss the war with US President-elect Donald Trump, indicating a potential for compromise in future talks. Furthermore, he specified that Russia would only sign peace agreements with the legitimate leader of Ukraine, suggesting that President Volodymyr Zelensky would need to be re-elected to be considered a legitimate signatory.
