Moscow: Russian President Vladimir Putin has once again warned Ukraine. He said that this military conflict, in which hundreds of people have been killed, will stop only when Kyiv lays down arms and accepts all the demands of the Kremlin. Putin said this during a telephone conversation with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan. He said Ukraine would be advised to take a “constructive” approach to the third round of peace talks.
President Putin’s remarks were published in a Kremlin readout. Pope Francis today condemned Russia’s ‘special operation’ in Ukraine. He described it as an operation of ‘rivers of tears and blood’, which was going according to a plan and it was scheduled.
The Kremlin said that this special operation will stop only if Kyiv lays down arms and accepts the demands of Russia. Russia attacked Ukraine on February 24, citing national security concerns over Ukraine’s proximity to the West and its move to join NATO.
Moscow has insisted its attacks will not stop until Ukraine’s military capabilities are destroyed and the country freed from “neo Nazis”. Ukraine had sought support from the global community and various Western countries against Russia, but so far nothing has been received. Western countries including America have given only diplomatic support to Ukraine.
In this war, Russia has captured Ukraine’s port city Kherson, Nuclear Plant, Kharkiv and Mariupol. British Military Intelligence said that the Russian military convoy is slowly moving towards the capital Kyiv. However, due to the strong response of Ukraine, the speed of Russia’s forces has slowed down.
On the other hand, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky told Western countries that, if you fail to provide powerful aid to Ukraine, tomorrow war will knock at your door.
