Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that the Russian-Ukrainian war is "coming to an end."
The statement from the head of state came amid ongoing military operations and negotiation initiatives between the sides of the conflict.
Putin stated that the war with Ukraine is "coming to an end" despite ongoing active combat operations in the east and south. Kyiv and Western allies do not share Moscow's optimism: Ukraine refuses territorial concessions and does not see the conflict ending soon.
Putin's statement may influence the course of diplomatic negotiations and the strategy of international mediators in the coming weeks, which will affect the stability of energy markets and exchange rates on which the region's economy depends. Kyiv's position rejecting territorial losses means that substantive peace negotiations remain unlikely in the short term, prolonging uncertainty for refugees and investors planning to return to the region.
