Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that Russia is prepared to end the war through diplomatic means. However, Putin rejected the possibility of European Union member states serving as mediators in peace negotiations, arguing that he does not consider them neutral parties in the conflict. The statement represents Putin's latest public position on potential diplomatic solutions to the ongoing war in Ukraine, while simultaneously limiting the pool of acceptable international mediators by excluding the 27-nation EU bloc.
