Russian President Putin wants the US to work with European allies, as Russia will only do if it is ready for peace in Ukraine.
"This is an unusual way of framing the issue, but we would very much like you, gentlemen, and the US administration as a whole, to work with your European allies so that they can finally decide whether they want peace or war in Ukraine. And that's it. Whether they want peace or war. And we, of course, are ready to work with them. ".
