Putin said on the 3rd at the Eastern Economic Forum plenary that a settlement of the Russia-Ukraine conflict remains possible but will ultimately depend on the parties involved. He said resolution hinges on whether Russia and Ukraine can reach a consensus. He called attacks, hijacking of civilian vessels and threats against civilian aircraft "state terrorism", and said Western allies' silence makes them "accomplices in international terrorist activity", which undermines prospects for peace talks. On Russia-U.S. ties, he said relevant agencies, including intelligence services, remain in contact and he hopes those contacts will yield positive results.
