The Russian despot suggested the three countries all viewed as having an uneasy alliance with the Kremlin could act as gobetweens to help broker a lasting peace with Ukraine.
Putin has said a preliminary agreement reached between Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in the first weeks of the war at talks in Istanbul, which was never implemented, could still serve as the basis for fresh talks.

"We have trust and confidence in one another. If there is a desire of Ukraine to carry on with the negotiations, I can do that."
