Putin on Ukraine: There are legal obstacles in Ukraine for potential deal on territories

• We have open dialogue with Trump.
• Have not yet spoken with Trump.
• On military contingents in Ukraine says that Russia assumes they will be legal targets for strikes.
• I see no sense in their deployment in Ukraine if there is peace deal.
• Russia will abide by agreements on Ukraine.
• We see Kiev is asking for contacts, I am ready for contacts, but see no big sense.
• We are ready for summit with Ukraine, please come to Russia, we will provide security.
• The best place for this is Moscow.
• Ukraine’s potential membership in EU is its legal right.
• Ukraine’s potential membership in NATO is completely unacceptable for Russia.

Hopes for a peace deal continue to crumble. Russia recently rejected any situation where foreign troops would be stationed in Ukraine to provide security guarantees, which has been one of the key requests for a peace deal from Western countries.
