While Putin is telling President Trump that Russia is "wanting to make a deal", Medvedev clearly says that the war must end on Russia's terms (so with Ukrainian capitulation, essentially). "It must end on our terms in order to prevent the possibility of future conflict. Its escalation into a global conflict. Is there such a probability? Unfortunately, yes. Let me tell you this: if for any reason we do not achieve an end to the conflict on our terms, this conflict will reactivate after short intervals of time."
