Earlier on Saturday, Russian President Vladimir Putin, speaking at the initiative of African leaders who reached Moscow, said that this could create a base for peace in the Ukraine war. Putin once again supported China’s 12-point peace proposal. At the same time, Putin said that the attacks from Kyiv have made it almost impossible to end the hostilities.
The peace proposals Putin has endorsed from African leaders include the withdrawal of Russian troops, the removal of Russia’s tactical nuclear weapons from Belarus, the suspension of the International Criminal Court’s warrant against Putin, and the lifting of economic sanctions on Russia.
It’s been 523 days since the war between Ukraine and Russia. At least four people were killed and dozens wounded in two Russian missile attacks on Krivi Rih on Monday, where Ukraine is now the aggressor in the war. On the other hand, a Ukrainian drone also attacked a police station in the border Russian region of Bryansk at night, but there were no casualties. Meanwhile, Ukraine’s President Zelensky has warned about the attacks on Moscow that now the war is returning to Russia again, which is a necessary, natural and right outcome.
