Putin at the SCO summit:

Putin at the SCO summit: “A multipolar world has become a reality. Russia has always advocated and advocates a peaceful political and diplomatic resolution of the situation in Ukraine, a crisis that arose as a result of the absolutely unceremonious policy of the United States led by its satellites. We have repeatedly put forward proposals in this regard. In mid-June, we presented another option for resolving the conflict in Ukraine, which, if the Ukrainian side, and most importantly its Western sponsors, were ready to accept it, would allow us to literally immediately, immediately stop hostilities, save human lives and begin negotiations.” Source: Russian Head
