Putin expressed his willingness to seek compromises with Ukraine, but emphasized that the outcome must favor Russia.

In an interview with propagandist Olga Skabeeva, released on October 25, the illegitimate president of the aggressor nation Russia, Vladimir Putin, claimed to be ready to seek "reasonable compromises with Ukraine."
Путин выразил готовность к поиску компромиссов с Украиной, при этом подчеркивая, что результат должен быть в интересах России.

He made this statement when a propagandist asked about the possibility of freezing the conflict in line with the Korean or Cypriot scenarios and whether Russia is ready to halt the war along the line of demarcation.

"The outcome must be in favor of Russia, I say this plainly, without any hesitation, and it should be based on the realities unfolding on the battlefield. Without a doubt, we are not going to make any concessions here, there will be no trade-offs," Putin said in response to her question. "We are willing to seek compromises, we are prepared to engage in reasonable compromises. But I do not wish to delve into details right now, as there are no substantive negotiations; the opposing side refuses this."

In the same interview, he referred to the negotiation issues as "intimate matters" and claimed that Turkey had allegedly conveyed Ukraine's proposals regarding negotiations to Russia multiple times, but when Moscow agreed, "it turned out that the Ukrainian side had already declined." According to Putin, this happened twice. He did not specify when exactly or under what conditions this occurred.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on October 24 "once again renewed these proposals for continuing contacts related to shipping in the Black Sea, and some other issues," Putin said, but he did not clarify what else was being discussed: he "did not have time to read the materials" sent by Turkey.
