diplomatic relations with all European countries — with no conditions attached.

The statement surprised many, especially at a time when relations between Russia and Europe are at their worst in decades.

Putin said Russia has no expectations and no demands, claiming the door is open if Europe wants to talk. This sounds like a calm message, but the timing is interesting. Europe is still deeply divided over the war in Ukraine, sanctions remain heavy, and trust between both sides is extremely low.

Behind the words, there is pressure on both sides. Europe is dealing with energy security, defense costs, and political fatigue, while Russia faces isolation, sanctions, and shrinking diplomatic space. This move could be a strategic signal, not peace — testing whether Europe is ready to talk, or if the divide will grow even deeper.
