MOSCOW<\/strong><\/p>\n

Responding to US President Donald Trump voicing \u201cdisappointment\u201d over a lack of progress on Ukraine, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday urged him to avoid “excessive expectations” and to resume talks on the issue.<\/p>\n

“Concerning any disappointments coming from anyone, all disappointments arise from excessive expectations. This is a well-known general rule,\u201d Putin told a press briefing in the city of Valaam.<\/p>\n

He added that \u201capproaching problem-solving peacefully requires thorough discussions, either publicly or quietly in the seclusion of negotiation processes,\u201d signaling the need to return to talks.<\/p>\n

Putin also reiterated Russia\u2019s commitment to a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian crisis, noting that Moscow had proposed establishing three working groups with Kyiv for this purpose.<\/p>\n

Asked whether Ukraine had responded to Russia\u2019s proposal for these groups, Putin confirmed that Kyiv\u2019s initial reaction had been positive.<\/p>\n

On the importance of continued dialogue, he stressed that talks are “always important and in demand.”<\/p>\n

“In principle, we can wait. If the Ukrainian leadership believes that now is not the right time and that waiting is necessary, please do so; we are ready to wait.”<\/p>\n

The Russian president also highlighted the outcomes of three rounds of talks with Ukraine held in Istanbul since May, saying that “many humanitarian problems were resolved thanks to that.”<\/p>\n

When asked if Russia’s conditions for a long-term ceasefire are still valid, Putin confirmed that they remain unchanged.<\/p>\n

“Actually, they’re goals rather than conditions, as I defined Russia’s objectives. Until recently, we heard that no one understood what Russia wanted. So, last June, during a meeting with representatives from the Foreign Ministry, we laid everything out clearly,” he elaborated.<\/p>\n

The primary objective, he stressed, is eliminating “the root causes that gave rise to this crisis,” calling this “fundamental.”<\/p>\n

Putin also stressed the importance of addressing both humanitarian concerns and security issues for both Russia and Ukraine, recalling that during the Istanbul talks, a Ukrainian delegation member had suggested discussing their mutual security within the framework of pan-European security.<\/p>\n

“One of the senior members of the Ukrainian team raised this suggestion. Overall, we agree with this perspective and consider it appropriate,” he said.<\/p>\n

In terms of humanitarian concerns, Putin emphasized the need to protect the Russian language, ensure independence, and provide dignified conditions for Ukraine’s Orthodox Christian Church.<\/p>\n

“All these elements combined should be discussed thoroughly and serve as the foundation for establishing lasting peace, without any temporal limitations whatsoever,” he said.<\/p>\n

On July 14, Trump said the US would impose import duties of up to 100% on Russia and its trading partners unless Moscow and Kyiv reach an agreement to resolve the Ukrainian crisis within 50 days.<\/p>\n

This Monday, he announced that he had decided to reduce that deadline to just 10 days.<\/p>\n

Deployment of Oreshnik missile in Belarus<\/strong><\/p>\n

Putin also announced that the first serial batch of the cutting-edge “Oreshnik” missile system was recently manufactured in Russia, and the missile is now in service with the troops.<\/p>\n

“We have produced the first serial batch of the ‘Oreshnik.’ The first serial-production missile. And it has been delivered to the military,” stated the Russian leader.<\/p>\n

The issue of supplying the “Oreshnik” missile to Belarus will be resolved by the end of the year, with preparations for its placement underway, he noted.<\/p>\n

“Our specialists — both Belarusian military personnel and Russians — have selected locations for future deployments. Now, work is underway to prepare these sites. Therefore, we are likely to close this issue by the end of the year,” said Putin.<\/p>\n

He pointed out that aside from producing the Oreshnik missile complex itself, other matters related to equipping and securing the site for its deployment must also be addressed.<\/p>\n

“And we need to protect the location itself,” Putin stressed. “So everything is going according to plan for us,” he concluded.<\/p>\n
