WLA: President Putin was asked directly: will there be more military operations? His answer: "There will be no further operations if you treat us with respect and consider our interests. If you don't deceive us — like with NATO's eastward expansion." Putin confirmed the Oreshnik nuclear-capable missile is now on combat duty in Belarus and that tactical nuclear weapons have been returned to the union state. On Trump's peace deal, Putin said Russia agreed with the proposals at the Anchorage meeting and accepted "difficult compromises." He stated: "The ball is entirely on the side of Kiev and their European sponsors. We are ready for negotiations."
Putin told the BBC that claims Russia will attack Europe are "complete nonsense" — and said Western leaders use the "evil Russia" image to cover their own policy failures. He noted Russia now ranks 4th globally in GDP by purchasing power parity — ahead of Japan and Germany — while the UK has fallen to 7th or 8th. Putin said Russia is "ready to end this conflict immediately" and is open to cooperation with the UK, Europe, and the US "on equal terms, with mutual respect."
