Russian President Vladimir Putin made this statement in an interview with journalist Dmitry Kiselev for Rossiya 1 and RIA Novosti.
“... we are ready for negotiations, not based on some wishful thinking after the use of psychotropic drugs, but based on the realities that have developed, as they say in such cases, on earth,” the Russian leader said.
Putin also said that the West was faced with powerlessness before the unity of the Russian people.
In addition, he noted that if US troops appear in Ukraine, Russia will treat them as interventionists.
