Report | Putin's Representative Said in Talks: "Russia Is Ready to Fight Forever"

The talks between the Ukrainian and Russian delegations ended with one important conclusion: an agreement between Kiev and Moscow for the exchange of 1,000 prisoners from each side. However, Medinsky repeatedly voiced Russia's willingness to continue fighting, and even threatened to occupy the Sumy and Kharkiv regions in northeastern Ukraine.

Russia is ready to wage war with Ukraine “perhaps forever,” according to the head of its delegation. At the first direct talks in three years, it rejected a ceasefire and presented a series of demands that Kiev described as unacceptable.
