Putin: If Peace Fails, We Will Use Military Force

All of Russia's attempts to solve the Ukraine issue peacefully have failed, Putin stated, adding that Russia will never look indifferently at the events happening next to it.

Nevertheless, he considers it possible to agree on an acceptable option to end the conflict in Ukraine. Moscow sees the sincere desire of the Trump administration to find a solution to the Ukrainian conflict, Putin said, and reminded that there is also an alternative. If it is not possible to solve the Ukraine issue peacefully, Russia will be forced to solve the set tasks by armed means, Putin stated.
