The Facts
Speaking at a press conference at the Kremlin on Thursday, Russian Pres. Vladimir Putin said his aim was to bring the war in Ukraine to a close — but this was flatly dismissed by US officials.
Putin said: "Our goal is not to spin the flywheel of military conflict but, on the contrary, to end this war. We will strive for an end to this and the sooner the better, of course."
The Spin
Pro-Russia narrative
Russia understands that nearly all wars end at the negotiation table. The sooner that this point is reached, the better for all parties involved.
Anti-Russia narrative
Putin's call to bring an end to the war is insincere. If he wants the war to end, he can start by removing his forces from Ukraine.
