Putin Urges G20 to End Tragedy of War in Ukraine

Russian President Vladimir Putin addressed the G20 summit, stating that it was necessary to find a solution to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine, which he referred to as a tragedy. Putin emphasized that Russia has never refused peace talks with Ukraine, despite the current strained relations. Moscow's decision to send troops into Ukraine in 2022 triggered a deadly conflict and heightened tensions between Russia and the West. While Ukraine vows to fight until all Russian soldiers leave its territory, Russia maintains control over a significant portion of Ukraine's internationally recognized territory.
