Referring to Russia's cooperation with other countries, President Putin said: "Russia has always adhered to the logic of mutually beneficial cooperation and does not seek confrontation." "I believe that a rational and balanced view of cooperation with Russia will prevail again."

Putin called the attempt to impose a strategic defeat on Russia illusory and said: Russia appreciates the willingness of the BRICS partners to help resolve the conflict in Ukraine. Russia was able to ensure the integration and entry of new members into the BRICS group. The authority of BRICS in the world continues to strengthen and its role. It should be noted that these countries have quickly joined our joint efforts, participated in forums and put forth promising and useful ideas and initiatives. In fact, we were able to feel that the BRICS cooperation, built on mutual respect and attention to each other's interests, would bring them tangible results.

Vladimir Putin stated that he is ready to negotiate with Ukraine: "I have said many times that Russia is not only ready for negotiations, but at a certain stage and at the very beginning of the operation, it conducted these negotiations, and even an acceptable bilateral agreement made by the parties "Ukraine was proposed, it was done, but still, the Ukrainian side, as the officials themselves announced, rejected this agreement."

Regarding the involvement of Western countries in the Ukraine war, the Russian President stated: "The basically hostile path of a number of Western countries to intensify and prolong the conflict in Ukraine in order to impose a strategic defeat on our country is deeply wrong. Such illusory calculations can only be made by those who do not know and do not want to know the history of Russia. "They also do not consider the unity, strength and cohesion of the Russian people."

Putin said that Russia is making active efforts to prevent the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from turning into a full-scale war. We are trying to prevent the Palestinian-Israeli conflict from turning into a big war in the Middle East. We are convinced that the only possibility is for the parties to return to the path of reconciliation and reach a sustainable and long-term solution based on a formal international legal basis.
