After meeting with the German Chancellor, Putin said, does not want war
Russian President Vladimir Putin said after meeting with
German Chancellor Olaf Schultz that his country was ready for talks with the US
and Western countries. Shortly before the meeting announced the withdrawal of
some troops from the Ukrainian border. Schultz reached Moscow and met Putin
amid fears of a Russian attack on Ukraine. These talks and the atmosphere
created before it are showing signs of reducing tension. Just before Putin's
meeting with Schultz, Russia announced the withdrawal of some troops from the
Ukrainian border. "Permanent security is with Russia, not against
Russia," German Chancellor Olaf Schultz said after meeting with Russian
President Vladimir Putin in Moscow, adding that Russia's role in maintaining
security in Europe was crucial. "It is clear to the European people that
permanent security lies not against Russia, but with Russia," Schultz
said. Putin says, "Whether we want it or not? Certainly not. That's
exactly why we proposed the process of dialogue." The two leaders
addressed the press conference after the talks.

Russia The German Chancellor has welcomed the withdrawal of some troops from
the Ukrainian border. Along with this, he also said that the options of
diplomacy to avoid war are not over yet. Schultz said, "We have heard that
some troops have gone back which is a good sign, we hope more will go
back." Wouldn't say there's no hope now." The Russian president has
said his country is ready to negotiate with the US and NATO to limit missile
deployments and negotiate military transparency. This is being considered as another
sign in the direction of reducing tension between Western countries and Russia.
Putin said the US and NATO had rejected Russia's demands to keep Ukraine and
other former Soviet countries away from NATO, to deploy weapons along the
Russian border and to withdraw military cooperation from Eastern European
countries. However, the US and NATO are ready to discuss a number of other
security-related measures that Russia had previously proposed. Putin says that
Russia is ready to deploy intermediate-range missiles in Europe, increase
transparency and trust in maneuvers. The measures are ready to be negotiated,
although he stressed that Western countries will have to consider Russia's key
demands.

Chancellor's meeting with Putin Shortly before the Russian Defense Ministry
announced their partial withdrawal after military exercises. All this has given
hope that Russia is not going to attack Ukraine immediately. The Russian army
has not given information from where the forces are retreating and in what
numbers. The Russian army has also not given any figures of the deployment of
troops. Some pictures have definitely been released in which the tanks can be
seen boarding the train. Apart from this, a picture of a commander riding on a
tank has also been released who is taking salute from the soldiers and the army
band is playing behind. The army did not say where these soldiers were going.
It is simply said, "Going back to the place of permanent deployment."
These announcements also affected the economic markets and there was an
immediate rise.
