ALBAWABA - Since February 24, 2022, the world has closely followed developments in Ukraine. Amidst the ongoing Ukraine conflict, a highly anticipated statement from Russian President Putin has finally emerged, capturing global attention.
Transitioning from defense to offense, the Ukrainian military's strategic shift has suddenly shifted global focus back to Russia. As the world eagerly awaited, the crucial announcement has now been delivered by none other than President Putin himself.
Against the backdrop of the BRICS Leaders' Summit in Johannesburg, South Africa, President Putin's statement, made through teleconferencing with leaders from Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa, has garnered widespread interest.
Of utmost importance in the announcement is Putin's assertion that Moscow aims to bring an end to the conflict.
According to reports from Al Jazeera, Putin communicated Moscow's intention to terminate the conflict that was ignited by 'Western and allied' actions in Ukraine. Nonetheless, the specific mechanisms for achieving this cessation remained undisclosed in Putin's address.
The news spread rapidly, as Qatar-based news platform headlined the development as 'Putin Expresses Russia's Aspiration to Conclude the Conflict.'
Response from the BRICS nations took a cautious stance, refraining from overt condemnation of Moscow's actions in Ukraine. During the summit, Putin emphasized the war as a necessary reaction to Kiev and Western initiatives.
