Putin joked about the issue of negotiations at a meeting of the Valdai Club

Russian President Vladimir Putin noted at a plenary session of the Valdai Discussion Club that there is no need to answer the question of why the winning Russian Federation wants negotiations. The broadcast of the Russian leader’s speech is available on Rutube.

During the plenary session, American journalist Rick Sanchez noted that Russia, according to Western experts, is winning the conflict. He also asked why Moscow wants negotiations.

“After this question you don’t have to answer. Due to excessive and traditional naivety and faith in the future in the Russian political sphere,” Putin joked.
