Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Tuesday that Ukraine's statehood could suffer an "irreparable blow" if the pattern of the war continued, and Russia would never be forced to abandon the gains it had made. Putin made his televised comments a day after Switzerland agreed to host a global summit at the request of Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskiy.

Putin dismissed "so-called peace formulas" being discussed in the West and Ukraine and what he called the "prohibitive demands" they entailed.

"Well, if they don't want (to negotiate), then don't!" he said.

So he is saying he is willing to end the war if he can keep the territory he has stolen... But if he can't keep it, he won't end the war.

I think that fits Ukraines stated war goals of not ending the ear until ALL 2014 territory has been liberated.

So they agree on something! The war isn't over.
