Putin Suggests Possibility of Peace with Ukraine Amid NATO's Warning
Russian President Vladimir Putin stated there is a 'chance' for peace between Russia and Ukraine, though he emphasized that the conflict must be resolved by both countries. Speaking at the Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok, Putin criticized Kyiv’s warnings to airlines about avoiding Russian airspace as an example of 'state terrorism.' NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte warned that Russia is becoming increasingly reckless due to missile and drone activity near Europe's eastern border and a suspected hybrid attack at Germany's Leipzig airport. He stressed NATO's commitment to unity in the face of threats, saying any notion that they would be divided or deterred from supporting Ukraine was mistaken. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had previously urged airlines to avoid Russian airspace as Kyiv intensifies its drone operations.
