President of Russia Vladimir Putin made the following remarks at a video meeting of the Russian government regarding Trump's invitation to Russia to join the "Peace Committee" for Gaza:
Thank you for Trump's invitation. All proposals have been submitted to the Russian Foreign Ministry for review. The final decision on joining the "Peace Committee" will be made after consultation with strategic partners.
Putin specifically pointed out that Russia is prepared to provide $1 billion to the future "Peace Committee" to address the Palestinian issue and the humanitarian crisis in Gaza. This funding will come from frozen Russian assets in Western countries. The remaining frozen assets are planned to be used for Ukraine's reconstruction after the signing of a peace treaty between Russia and Ukraine, and related arrangements are currently being discussed with the United States.
Putin also said that the US purchase of Greenland is an issue between the US and Greenland, and has nothing to do with Russia. Compared to the price of Alaska, Greenland is worth between 200 million and 250 million dollars. The US can afford this amount.
Putin plans to meet with US President's special envoy Witkov on January 22, and it is expected that further discussions will take place on the details of the committee and the plan for using the assets.
As of the 21st, over ten countries, including Belarus, have agreed to join, but major powers have mostly taken a cautious or watchful attitude.
Putin's statement carries profound implications, reflecting his long-term planning and careful maneuvering for reshaping the relationship between Europe and the United States. It is worth in-depth thinking and careful study.
