Vladimir Putin denies bombing Ukraine cities, says ready for dialogue if demands met
Moscow/IBNS: Russian President Vladimir Putin in a phone call with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz denied that his troops were bombing Ukrainian cities and dismissed such information as fake, media reports said.
Putin said reports about "the alleged ongoing air strikes of Kyiv and other large cities are gross propaganda fakes," AFP quoted the Kremlin said in a statement.
He said that dialogue between the two countries is possible only if Russin's demands are met.
Putin "confirmed that Russia is open to dialogue with the Ukrainian side, as well as with everyone who wants peace in Ukraine. But under the condition that all Russian demands are met," the Kremlin said.
"Hope was expressed that during the planned third round of talks, the representatives of Kyiv will take a reasonable and constructive position," the statement added.
