Putin: We are ready to make a deal with Ukraine peacefully

This is a new tone from Putin, it sounds like he wants the war to end:

• In Alaska, Trump asked Russia for some compromises, Russia is ready
• Ukraine also needs to compromise and the conflict will end quickly then
• Russia has all the resources to fulfill the military goals, and they are getting stronger
• Unfortunately, some Ukrainian drones are getting through to Russia
• We need to strengthen our air defense system
• Ukraine’s army problem is a catastrophic lack of personnel
• More than 85% of Donetsk Region is under Russia’s control
• Russia controls 80% of Zaporizhzia Region
• Ukraine is losing territory

These are some notable comments and are negative for energy prices, particularly in Europe.
