He noted that the head of state received reports from the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Emergency Situations and the heads of regions, taking into account the update of information.

"Then there were the relevant instructions of the head of state, orders of the Supreme Commander-in-Chief and so on," Peskov said.

According to him, Putin devotes as much time to the topic of the special operation in Ukraine as he needs as commander-in-chief to lead the overall leadership.

Peskov also noted that Putin is open to any contacts to achieve Russia's goals by means other than a special operation, but the West has so far left no other choice.

For example, Secretary of the National Security Council of Ukraine Oleksiy Danilov said that Kiev's doors for negotiations with Moscow are closed "quite firmly."
