Putin claims to have received “secret proposal” from Ukraine

Russian leader Vladimir Putin has claimed at the BRICS summit that a representative from Turkiye received a proposal for Russia from Ukraine during the September session of the UN General Assembly in New York and passed this information to the Kremlin. Source: Kremlin-aligned Russian news agency RIA Novosti with reference to Putin at a press conference following the BRICS summit, Details: Putin did not specify the nature of Ukraine's proposal.

Quote: "Turkiye also presented an initiative concerning the Black Sea situation: to ensure safe navigation, establish certain agreements and reach security arrangements regarding nuclear energy facilities."

Details: Putin claimed he had agreed to the proposal, but afterward, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy revealed a Victory Plan, which Putin believes nullified the possibility of talks.

When asked to rate the chances of resolving the war with Ukraine on a scale of one to ten, Putin said he found it inappropriate to say any numbers or scores.

Background: Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy stated on 21 September that halting Russian aerial attacks on Ukraine's energy infrastructure and cargo ships could pave the way for talks to end the war.
