Putin says Russia will achieve all aims militarily if Ukraine does not agree deal4 September 2025ShareSavePaulin KolaBBC NewsShareSaveEPARussia has rebuffed calls for a ceasefire as its troops advance in UkrainePresident Vladimir Putin has said Russia is resultado mega sena dia 1704willing to fight to achieve all its objectives if Ukraine does not agree to a deal.He made the remarks in China after attending a huge military parade seen as a challenge to Donald Trump and the US-dominated world order.The US president has tried to persuade Putin to end the war, but the Russian leader, while praising Trump's "sincere desire", has so far not done so.Visiting Kyiv, UK Defence Secretary John Healey told the BBC Trump had brought Putin to the table, and had not ruled out putting more pressure on him. Countries like the UK, he said, were willing "to put extra economic pressure on Putin... and to give extra aid to Ukraine so they can keep in the fight".Trump pulled Putin out of international isolation last month when he hosted a meeting with him in Alaska. He also tried to persuade Putin to meet Ukraine's President Volodymyr Zelensky."I have never ruled out the possibility of such a meeting. But is there any point? Let's see," Putin said on Wednesday.He added that any such meeting required preparation to yield results, and that Zelensky could always go to Moscow to see him – a "knowingly unacceptable" idea, Ukraine's foreign minister was quick to point out.Ukraine's president has been highlighting Putin's refusal to meet as a way of urging Trump to impose sanctions on Russia and boost Ukraine's defences. Russia launched a full-scale invasion of its neighbour in February 2022. Later on Wednesday Trump said the Russian leader "knows where I stand" regarding an end to the war."I have no message to President Putin, he knows where I stand, and he'll make a decision one way or the other," Trump told reporters at the White House, where he was hosting recently-elected Polish President Karol Nawrocki.He bristled at a reporter who suggested he had not taken significant action against Moscow, citing secondary sanctions on India for buying Russian oil."You call that no action? And I haven't done phase two and phase three yet," added Trump, without elaborating.Hot mic catches Xi and Putin discussing organ transplants and immortalityChina's Xi steals the limelight in a defiant push against US-led world orderBBC correspondents react to China's military paradeWatch: Key moments from China's big show of strengthWhat new weapons on show say about China's military strengthTrump accuses Xi of conspiring against US with Putin and KimAsked by a Russian state TV journalist in Beijing whether the war in Ukraine could end soon, the Russian leader said "there is a certain light at the end of the tunnel"."It seems to me that if common sense prevails, it will be possible to agree on an acceptable solution to end this conflict," Putin said. "If not, then we will have to resolve all our tasks militarily."But he went on to stress that Russia would not relinquish the Donbas region of eastern Ukraine his troops have seized. The Russian leader repeated his demands for Ukraine not to seek Nato membership and to stop what he called discrimination against ethnic Russians – one of the allegations mentioned as a pretext for the invasion.Putin hinted that Western security guarantees after a future peace deal would not relate to the Donbas areas whose inhabitants had opted to join Russia – a reference to widely-criticised votes held in the aftermath of the annexation.Putin met with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un in Beijing, after which Kim said North Korea would continue to "fully support" Russia's army as a "fraternal duty". According to North Korean state media, Putin thanked Kim for providing troops for Russia's war effort in Ukraine and described relations between the two countries are "special ones of trust, friendship and alliance". 1:37Watch: BBC correspondent Katy Watson reports from scene of deadly Russian attack on Kyiv late last monthOn Thursday, the French president will host a meeting of the so-called Coalition of the Willing - a grouping of allies of Ukraine.A source at the élysée, Macron's office, has said the group want to secure American backing to extend security guarantees to Ukraine - and to obtain a ceasefire from Russia.President Trump pressed Putin for a ceasefire during their summit in Alaska last month, but then emerged from the talks saying the search for a peace deal would be a better way of ending the conflict.Putin has rejected calls for a truce and his troops have intensified attacks on Ukrainian cities. More than Russian 500 drones and 24 cruise missiles were launched on Wednesday night alone.The UK defence secretary told the BBC that, once a peace agreement was in place, the UK and more than 30 other nations would "help make the skies safe, to make the seas safe, and to secure the land"."We're determined to make sure in the meantime we don't jeopardise that peace by forgetting about the war, and that's why we're stepping up military aid to Ukraine," John Healey said. "It's why we've passed today ￡1bn ($1.24bn) of seized Russian assets, recycled into military aid and kit to Ukraine. If you like, Putin's dirty money returned with interest."What security guarantees for Ukraine would actually meanEuropean leaders outraged after Russian strikes kill 23 and damage EU's HQUkraine in maps: Tracking the war with RussiaEuropeWar in UkraineVolodymyr ZelenskyDonald TrumpVladimir Putin
