Speaking in Volgograd, formerly known as Stalingrad where the Soviet army defeated Nazi forces 80 years ago, Putin predicted a new victory in Ukraine. He lambasted Germany for helping to arm Kyiv and said he was ready to draw on Russia’s entire arsenal, which includes nuclear weapons.
Putin casts his “special military operation” in Ukraine as a fight to “disarm” his neighbour, a fellow former Soviet republic, and defend Russia against an aggressive West. Ukraine and the West call it an illegal war to expand Russian territory.After arriving in Kyiv by train for talks about Ukraine’s aspiration to join the European Union, the head of the bloc’s executive Commission pledged more aid for Ukraine.
“We know the future of our continent is being written here … This is a fight of democracies against authoritarian regimes,” she said. Russian forces are pushing from both the north and south to encircle Bakhmut, using superior troop numbers to try to cut it off from re-supply and force the Ukrainians out, Ukrainian military analyst Yevhen Dikiy said.
A former commander of Russia’s Wagner mercenary group who fled to Norway told Reuters he regretted fighting in Ukraine and was speaking out to bring perpetrators of atrocities to justice. “Although I don’t know how it would be received, I want to say I’m sorry,” said 26-year-old Andrei Medvedev.
