Putin: We are ready to make a deal with Ukraine peacefully

This is a new tone from Putin, it sounds like he wants the war to end:

  • In Alaska, Trump asked Russia for some compromises, Russia is ready
  • Ukraine also needs to compromise and the conflict will end quickly then
  • Russia has all the resources to fulfill the military goals, and they are getting stronger
  • Unfortunately, some Ukrainian drones are getting through to Russia
  • We need to strengthen our air defense system
  • Ukraine’s army problem is a catastrophic lack of personnel
  • More than 85% of Donetsk Region is under Russia’s control
  • Russia controls 80% of Zaporizhzia Region
  • Ukraine is losing territory

These are some notable comments and are negative for energy prices, particularly in Europe.
