Russian President Vladimir Putin says he believes the conflict with Ukraine is coming to an end. Speaking to reporters at the Kremlin on Saturday, Putin stated: “I think that the matter is coming to an end,” adding that his view points toward an end to hostilities.
Both sources reference the broader impact of Russia’s February 2022 invasion of Ukraine, describing it as the most serious crisis in relations between Russia and the West since the 1962 Cuban Missile Crisis. That earlier confrontation is noted for the widespread fear that nuclear war could be imminent.
The South China Morning Post also places Putin’s remarks in the context of Russia’s Victory Day observances, describing the event as being held at its most scaled-back level. While the reporting reflects Putin’s position, neither source provides details on timing, terms, or any specific agreement that would explain how the conflict would end.
