Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday (Sep 5) that India, China, and Brazil could act as mediators in potential peace talks between his country and Ukraine.

The leader of the warring nation also said that a preliminary agreement reached between Moscow and Kyiv in Istanbul — during the initial weeks of the war that has already stretched for over 2.5 years — could serve as the basis for the talks. The agreement was never implemented.

And I have no doubt that the leaders of these countries, we have a trusting relationship with them, sincerely strive to help understand all the details of this complex process."
