The Russian president has said he was "sympathetic" to Donald Trump's call on Moscow to spare the Ukrainian soldiers' lives
Moscow is "sympathetic" to US President Donald Trump's request that the lives of the Ukrainian troops encircled in Russia's Kursk Region be spared, President Vladimir Putin said during a National Security Council meeting on Friday. Russia will guarantee their lives if they lay down their arms, he added.
Earlier in the day, Trump urged Putin to preserve the lives of the "thousands of Ukrainian troops" who are "completely surrounded by the Russian military."
"This would be a horrible massacre, one not seen since World War II," he said in a post on Truth Social.
Putin responded that he was aware of Trump's request, adding that Russia was willing to consider it. "If they lay down their arms and surrender, [we] will guarantee them their lives and dignified treatment in accordance with international law and Russian legal norms," the president said.
