Putin Offers Written Assurance Russia Will Not Attack Europe

Vladimir Putin, President of Russia, says Russia is prepared to issue a formal written guarantee that it has no intention of attacking any European country. He dismissed warnings of a wider Russian offensive as unfounded and said Moscow is open to discussing broader security arrangements.

His comments come as Russia links any future security commitments to Western acceptance of its territorial claims in Ukraine. European officials remain cautious, noting similar assurances were given before the 2022 invasion.
