Russian President Vladimir Putin said that an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza would be ‘absolutely unacceptable’.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday that an Israeli ground offensive in Gaza would lead to a level of civilian casualties that would be “absolutely unacceptable”.

Speaking at a summit in Kyrgyzstan, Putin commented on the Israeli military’s call for over one million civilians in Gaza to relocate within 24 hours and on the decision to amass tanks at the southern border.

“The civilian casualties will be absolutely unacceptable. Now the main thing is to stop the bloodshed,” Putin said.

The Russian President also reiterated that Russia supports a two-state solution and a peaceful solution to the conflict.
