The head of intelligence of Germany spoke about the conditions under which Russia will go to negotiations on Ukraine

“Now his (Russian President Vladimir Putin. -

) goal is to find a solution on the battlefield and realize as many advantages as possible, so that at some point, perhaps, dictate the world on his own terms,” Der Speigel quotes him as saying.

Earlier, the official representative of the Russian Foreign Ministry, Maria Zakharova, said that Ukraine, at the direction of the US authorities, blocked negotiations with Russia, which she herself initiated.

In October, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted that Kyiv refused to negotiate, but Moscow would be open to dialogue if the Ukrainian regime "matured".
