伦敦和乌克兰基辅-俄罗斯总统弗拉基米尔·普京表示，一个美国代表团预计将于下周上半年抵达莫斯科，讨论美国提出的结束克里姆林宫在乌克兰战争的最新建议。
普京周四在访问吉尔吉斯斯坦比什凯克期间举行的新闻发布会上说，在美国和乌克兰最近的会谈中，没有就和平协议草案达成一致，只有一份有待讨论的问题清单。
普京还表示，与乌克兰现任领导人签署任何文件都是“毫无意义的”，他声称乌克兰总统弗拉基米尔·泽连斯基缺乏这样做的合法性。
在一系列强硬声明中，普京重复了俄罗斯最强硬的要求，包括乌克兰军队必须撤出莫斯科声称拥有的领土，这是他迄今为止对美国提出的最新和平计划最广泛的评论。普京排除了在乌克兰军队撤离前签署任何停火协议的可能性。
“如果乌克兰军队离开被占领土，那么军事行动将停止。如果他们不离开，我们将通过武装力量实现这一目标，”普京说。
他还说，承认俄罗斯对克里米亚、顿巴斯以及乌克兰东部和南部一带的占领必须是与美国谈判的一部分。
普京对俄罗斯的战场地位充满信心，声称前线到处都是“积极的动态”。总统表示，俄罗斯“原则上准备好”战斗到最后一个乌克兰人。
在维特科夫预计下周前往莫斯科之前，普京表示，美国最新的和平建议“可以成为未来协议的基础。”
“总的来说，我们看到美方正在考虑我们的立场，这一立场在安克雷奇之前和阿拉斯加之后进行了讨论，”他补充说，指的是他与特朗普8月份的峰会。“在一些领域，我们肯定需要坐下来认真讨论具体问题，”普京说。
普京还回答了有关美国总统唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)的特使史蒂夫·维特科夫(Steve Witkoff)和克里姆林宫高级助手尤里·乌沙科夫(Yuri Ushakov)之间据称电话录音泄露的问题，维特科夫似乎在向乌沙科夫提供莫斯科如何向特朗普提出自己的和平计划的建议。
“这可能是某种假新闻，”普京说。“也许他们真的偷听了。实际上，这是刑事犯罪;窃听在我们国家是违法的。这和我们无关。这是西方和美国在如何结束敌对状态的问题上的意见之战。”
Russia ready to 'fight to the last Ukrainian,' Putin says amid US peace drive
LONDON and KYIV, Ukraine --Russian President Vladimir Putin said a U.S. delegation is expected to arrive in Moscow in the first half of next week to discuss the latest American proposal to end the Kremlin's war in Ukraine.
Speaking at a press conference during a visit to Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan, on Thursday, Putin said no draft peace agreement had been agreed to in recent talks between the U.S. and Ukraine, only a list of issues to be discussed.
Putin also said it was "pointless" to sign any documents with Ukraine's current leadership, alleging that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy lacked legitimacy to do so.
In a series of hardline statements -- his most extensive comments on the latest U.S.-proposed peace plan to date -- Putin repeated some of Russia's most hardline demands, including that Ukrainian troops must withdraw from territory Moscow claims. Putin ruled out signing any ceasefire deal before Ukrainian troops withdraw.
"If Ukraine's troops leave the territory occupied, then military action will stop. If they won't leave then we will achieve that by armed force," Putin said.
He also said recognition of Russia's occupation of Crimea, Donbas and a swath of eastern and southern Ukraine must be part of negotiations with the U.S.
Putin projected confidence about Russia's battlefield position, claiming there was a "positive dynamic" everywhere on the front. The president said Russia was "ready in principle" to "fight to the last Ukrainian."
Ahead of Witkoff's expected trip to Moscow next week, Putin said the latest American peace proposals "can be the basis for future agreements."
"Overall, we see that the American side is taking into account our position, which was discussed before Anchorage and after Alaska," he added, referring to his August summit with Trump. "In some areas, we definitely need to sit down and seriously discuss specific issues," Putin said.
Putin also answered questions about a leaked recording of a purported phone call between President Donald Trump's envoy Steve Witkoff and top Kremlin aide Yuri Ushakov, in which Witkoff appeared to be offering Ushakov advice on how Moscow could present its own peace plans to Trump.
"This may be some kind of fake news," Putin said. "Maybe they really did eavesdrop. Actually, this is a criminal offense; eavesdropping is illegal in our country. It's not about us. It's about the battle of opinions between the collective West and the U.S. over what needs to be done to end the hostilities."
