Russian President Vladimir Putin wanted dialogue with Ukraine to avoid war, but Western countries were not ready for it.

Axar.az reports that Vyacheslav Volodin, Chairman of the Russian State Duma, said this.

"Putin talked about it with US President Joe Biden, French President Emmanuel Macron, former German Chancellor Angela Merkel and former French President Francois Hollande. But we see that they were all interested in the conflict from the beginning. "First they deceived, then they did everything to turn the tension in Ukraine to the military level," he said.

According to Volodi, Biden wants to create problems for his successor Donald Trump by allowing Ukraine to use ATACMS missiles:

"All of Biden's actions suggest that the worse the situation, the better it will be for him. But the current situation is very bad for the world and for Americans. Europe will suffer more than anyone else. "Emmanuel Macron, Olaf Scholtz and Joe Biden should understand that Russia will protect itself by all means."
