Russian President Vladimir Putin said he is "ready for negotiations" with U.S. President Donald Trump about how to end the war in Ukraine.

Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in remarks published on Friday that he saw no objective signs that Ukraine or the West were ready for peace talks despite all their increasingly loud statements about the need for such talks.

Trump claims that the Ukrainian leader decided he ‘wanted to fight’ when it was actually Russia who started hostilities between the two countries

President Donald Trump suggested in an interview that aired Thursday night that Ukraine should not have fought when Russia invaded it.

Russia has lost about twice as many men to death and serious injury as Ukraine. But the trends favor the Kremlin.

Moscow believes it has the resources and manpower to withstand at least another year of the conflict.

Russia has had battlefield momentum but its recent territorial gains have been at the expense of high personnel losses.

Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has been a splitting point between Trump and the more hawkish Republican Senate conference. Last year, Trump blew up a deal to swap additional provisions for border security in exchange for aid to Israel and Ukraine. Aid to Ukraine ultimately passed without additional border security spending.

Budanov said North Korea has sent 120 self-propelled howitzers and 120 MLRS to Russia, and is likely to send the same number again.
