Putin: Ukrainian Conflict May Be Coming to an End
18:59 GMT 09.05.2026 (Updated: 20:31 GMT 09.05.2026) The Ukrainian conflict may be resolved in the near future, Russian President Vladimir Putin suggested during his press conference in Moscow on May 9.
"I think the matter is coming to an end," Putin said.
Russia immediately agreed to US President Donald Trump's proposal to extend the ceasefire with Ukraine and exchange prisoners of war, Russian President Vladimir Putin said.
"We immediately agreed to this. Moreover, in my view, it is a justified proposal, motivated by considerations of respect for our shared victory over Nazism, and clearly of a clear humanitarian nature," the Russian president told reporters, commenting on Trump's proposal.
Russia reacted to Kiev's threats and the Russian Defense Ministry's earlier statement on Russia's possible response to Kiev's attempts to disrupt Victory Day celebrations was crystal clear, Putin said. Moscow did not limit itself to a statement from the Russian Ministry of Defense in response to Kiev's provocative statements, the Foreign Ministry also issued a note, Putin stated.
Russia has no desire to worsen relations with anyone, but the response to Kiev's provocations on Victory Day could have led to exactly that, he remarked.
He added that the Russian Ministry of Defense has not yet reported to him whether there were any provocations on Victory Day.
"The armed forces must focus their attention on the final defeat of the enemy through a special military operation," Putin told reporters.
The proposal to move enriched uranium from Iran to Russia for storage still stands, Russian President Vladimir Putin noted.
"We have such experience, and we are ready to do it once again ... Our proposal still stands, and I think it is a good proposal," Putin told reporters.
Tehran trusts Moscow completely, as it has never violated any agreements and continues developing civilian nuclear programs in Iran, the Russian leader added.
"We hope that this conflict [between Iran and the United States] can be stopped as soon as possible," Putin said.
