On September 1, local time, Russian President Vladimir Putin said at a press conference after the SCO Bishkek summit that Russia hopes to end the war and achieve lasting and complete peace in Ukraine and Europe as a whole, and that Russia is ready to engage in negotiations with anyone willing to participate in the negotiations. Referring to Ukrainian President Zelensky's speech on the evening of September 1 about “Russian airspace is no longer safe,” Putin said the relevant remarks were acts of national terrorism. Russia respects the positions of partner countries that advocate a peaceful resolution of the Ukrainian issue, but Russia will not engage in negotiations with terrorists. He also denied rumors that Russia will carry out a new round of mobilization after the State Duma elections, saying that such news is an “information war” against Russia.
