Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday approved an important strategic partnership agreement with Iran. Earlier, Russia’s Parliament also approved the agreement. This information was given in a statement issued by Kremlin. The agreement was reached in January when the Iranian President Masood Pageshkian visited Moscow. The agreement spoke of cooperation on many issues like national security, peaceful use of nuclear power and unilateral sanctions imposed by Western countries. However, there is no such provision in this agreement that if a third country is attacked, the two countries will take retaliation together. The agreement is considered a major step towards deepening strategic relations between the two countries.
Russia and Ukraine are accusing each other
Russian President Vladimir Putin called for a 30 -hour ceasefire on Saturday on the occasion of Easter, but the battle started again on Sunday (April 20). Russia and Ukraine are accusing each other of breaking the ceasefire. Ukraine called the ceasefire a “drama” from the beginning. Ukrainian President Zelanski said that if Russia ceases the ceasefire, Ukraine will also remain calm, but if the attack took place, the reply will be given. Zelancesi has talked about unconditional ceasefire and peace with the US, Britain and France. He also had a good conversation with the British Prime Minister Kir Starmer.
Russian government also expressed his desire to negotiate
The Russian government has also expressed his desire to negotiate. A Kremlin spokesman said that Putin is ready to talk about not attacking Ukraine’s citizens (residential) areas. The US has warned that if no solution is found soon, it can withdraw from the talks. However, President Donald Trump hopes that the agreement will be reached this week. Russia still wants Ukraine to leave its occupied areas. In addition, he wants Ukraine to become a neutral (non-cooperative) country forever. Ukraine considers it a surrender.
Ukraine made a big claim
Meanwhile, Ukraine said Russia violated the ceasefire over 3,000 times last Sunday. At the same time, Russia said that Ukraine attacked him with more than 900 drones and fired 400 times, killing citizens.
