According to Reuters, Russian dictator Vladimir Putin stated on Thursday that China, India, and Brazil could mediate talks between Russia and Ukraine.

Many pieces of information provided by Russian media or government representatives are elements of propaganda. Such reports are part of the Russian Federation's information war.

According to Putin, the basis for the talks could be the negotiations between Russia and Ukraine in Istanbul in the first weeks of the war in 2022.

Putin on the agreement: "They did not allow Ukraine"

Are we ready to negotiate with them? We never refused, but not on the basis of some ephemeral demands, but on the basis of documents that were agreed and actually initialled in Istanbul, said Putin.

"We managed to reach an agreement, that is the whole point. The signature of the head of the Ukrainian delegation who initialled this document testifies to this, which means that the Ukrainian side was generally satisfied with the agreements reached", said Russian President Vladimir Putin at the plenary session of the Eastern Economic Forum.

We managed to reach an agreement; that's the whole trick. The signature of the head of the Ukrainian delegation who initialled this document proves it, but the dictator, quoted by Ria Novosti, added that among the elites of the United States, Europe, and some European countries, a desire for a strategic defeat of Russia arose.

Putin also blames Kyiv for the lack of agreement. In his opinion, the authorities are ready to "fight to the last Ukrainian." Putin also believes that the conscription age in Ukraine will be lowered until "children" are being "sent to slaughter."

Chance for mediation? He pointed to three countries

Vladimir Putin also indicated which countries, in his opinion, could help achieve an agreement between Russia and Ukraine.

We respect our friends and partners who, I believe, are genuinely interested in resolving all issues related to this conflict. These are primarily the People's Republic of China, Brazil, and India. I am in constant contact with our partners in this matter. I have no doubt that the leaders of these countries, with whom we share trust, are sincerely trying to help clarify all the details of this complex process, said the dictator.
