MOSCOW, May 9. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin told reporters that Ukraine has not yet submitted any proposals regarding a prisoner-of-war exchange. He added that he believes the conflict in Ukraine is approaching its end.
The Russian leader also said he is ready to meet with Vladimir Zelensky in any country, but only for the purpose of signing a final settlement agreement.
TASS has compiled the key statements made by the president to reporters following the May 9 events.
The Russian Defense Ministry has not yet submitted a report on actions by the Ukrainian side during the Victory Day celebrations; this will be done shortly: "I can't say anything yet. I'm going back to my office now; the military will brief me there."
The absence of military equipment at the Victory Day parade was driven not only by security considerations, but "first and foremost by the fact that the armed forces must focus their attention on the final defeat of the enemy in the special military operation."
