Moscow had earlier bombed all parts of Ukraine in retaliation for the Crimea Bridge explosion attack. Putin believes that the Ukrainian agent department is involved in the explosion.
Putin also mentioned that India and China support peaceful dialogue on the Russian-Ukrainian war.
He admitted that Moscow's former Soviet allies were concerned about the Russian-Ukrainian conflict, but claimed that this did not affect their relations with Moscow.
Putin still has a tough attitude towards the United States and NATO . He believes that it is "unnecessary" to meet with US President Biden at present, and said that any direct conflict between NATO troops and Russia will lead to global disasters, "I hope that those who say that kind of thing are smart enough to not take that kind of action."
Biden said earlier that it is not ruled out to meet with Putin during the G20 summit in November.
Kremlin spokesman Peskov said Thursday that Russia's special military operations against Ukraine remain unchanged, but goals can be achieved through consultation. "We will not chase anyone. If there are specific and serious proposals, we can discuss it."

The Ukrainian army's counterattack over a month ago has regained a large area of territory in the northeast and south.
Moscow-appointed Khlsong regional leader Saldo called on residents to evacuate in order to avoid attacks on Ukrainian troops. This move is seen as a sign of the Russian army's retreat.
Russian TASS reported that the first batch of civilians who fled Khlsson were expected to arrive in Rostov Oblast in southern Russia on Friday.
Ukraine's Khlsong State Assemblyman Kran said that Saldo's moves are all bringing "Khlsson's traitor" back to Russia , rather than evacuation operations.
The Ukrainian government said that more than 600 settlements have been recaptured in the past month, including 75 settlements in Khlsong Prefecture.
