Putin Demands Security Guarantees for Russia, Ukraine, and Europe in Peace Talks

Putin directly stated that security guarantees are essential for Russia, Ukraine, and Europe during peace talks. The statement was reported by Pajhwok Afghan News, which quoted Putin directly. Xinhua, however, provided an explanatory overview of the peace talks without direct quotes from Putin. The two sources diverge in their focus, with one emphasizing Putin's demands and the other offering a broader context on the talks' potential outcomes.
