Putin clearly stated his position.

Foreign media reported today (September 1st) that Russian President Putin emphasized at the Shanghai Cooperation Organization Tianjin Summit that the issue of NATO expansion must be resolved in order to achieve lasting peace in Ukraine. He said, "To make the resolution of the Ukraine issue sustainable and long-term, we must address the root cause of this crisis."

Putin's position on the Ukraine conflict has become increasingly firm and confident, especially after his meeting with Trump, he openly exposed the essence of the Ukraine conflict. In fact, the root cause of this conflict was incited by the United States, with NATO acting as an accomplice, while European countries became "enforcers." To completely resolve the Ukraine crisis and achieve lasting peace, it is necessary to tackle this fundamental issue; otherwise, all solutions will be ineffective.
