Russian President Vladimir Putin announced today that Russia will not allow the armed forces of Ukraine to impose their conditions in the negotiations, and their goal is to fully control Donbass and “Novorossiya”.
“Kiev will pay for its actions in the Kursk region with the loss of territories that we need to create a security zone,” Putin said. He added that there is no “saving the Kiev regime” in Russia’s plans.
He also noted that the armed forces of Ukraine want to limit military operations to only 4 regions in order to be able to move their forces in other directions.
“Ukrainian strikes on Russia’s energy infrastructure create problems, that’s obvious.
However, damaged important objects are quickly repaired.
There is a shortage of power or energy, but it has not reached a serious or crisis level.’
According to the Russian side, the purpose of the strikes in Ukraine is not only military, but also to create division in Russian society and stop Russia’s advance on the military front.
The President of the Russian Federation also stated:
“Damaged energy facilities in Russia are being restored quite quickly, the system is working with a large reserve. Crimea’s fuel requirements will be met, there is now a few days’ supply. We will not allow Ukraine to have the opportunity to stop the advance of our troops. Russia’s retaliatory strikes deep in Ukraine are much stronger and significant.”
