Putin says there is a chance of peace deal on Ukraine but repeats 'state terrorism' charge

​Russian President Vladimir ​Putin said ‌on Thursday ​that there is a chance of peace agreement ‌to end the war in Ukraine, while reiterating his accusation that Ukrainian warnings ‌about risks to planes in Russian airspace ‌amount to "state terrorism". Putin said a number of countries including the U.S. and China were ⁠ready ​to ⁠support a peace settlement.

"Ultimately, however, the problem ⁠must be resolved by the countries involved in ​the conflict - Russia and Ukraine. ⁠This is the correct approach. Yet, we are ⁠grateful ​to everyone attempting to contribute to a settlement. Is there a ⁠chance? In my view, yes, there is," he ⁠told ⁠an economic forum in Russia's far east.
