He said, “If there is a desire to talk and find an agreement, let anyone lead the conversation there … Naturally, what suits we suit for us, match our interests,” he said .
Putin also claimed that the fight would end in two months or less if West cuts his support to Kiev.
Putin said, “They will not be present for a month if money and in a broad sense, bullets come out. Everything will end in one and a half months.”
