“First, President Putin has always insisted on negotiations and diplomacy,” Peskov said. “In fact, he raised the issue of security guarantees for the Russian Federation, and Ukraine is only part of the problem. It is part of a bigger problem with Russia's security guarantees, and President Putin is ready to negotiate.”

Earlier in the day, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov told Putin he saw an “opportunity” for diplomatic dialogue with the West on Russia's security concerns and recommended that such efforts continue.
