Internet reports that on the 24th local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said that Ukraine President Zelensky is avoiding starting peace talks because peace talks will lead to the need for Ukraine to cancel the wartime status and hold elections. However, at this stage, Zelensky's approval rating is only half that of Zaluzhny, former commander-in-chief of the Ukrainian armed forces and current ambassador to the UK. He said Zelensky's decree banning negotiations with Russia drove himself into a dead end. Putin also pointed out that Russia is not opposed to retaining the nationhood of Ukraine, but its territory should not be used as a hostile base against Russia. Putin also said that European countries should participate in the negotiation process related to the Ukraine issue. He and U.S. President Trump did not have substantive discussions on resolving the Ukraine conflict. He also revealed that Russia and the United States can reach an agreement on a 50% reduction in armaments. Putin also said that companies from Russia and the United States have begun to discuss cooperation projects, and Russia plans to resume exporting aluminum products to the United States with an export volume of 2 million tons, which will help stabilize the price of this product.
