Russia-Ukraine War: 'Purpose is to eliminate causes that caused this crisis,' says Putin | Today news

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Sunday that his goal is to eliminate the causes caused by the war in Ukraine. Meanwhile, Russia has carried out one of its most intense drone rands on Ukraine since the start of its full scale invasion in 2022, which launched hundreds of drones until Sunday, as reported by AFP. The purpose of Moscow is to “eliminate the causes that caused this crisis, the conditions for a lasting peace and guarantee Russia’s safety,” Putin told the Russian state’s television, two days after the first peace talks with Ukraine since 2022 not a ceasefire agreement reported. Russia is launching Drone attacks Meanwhile, Russia has launched a total of 273 explosive drones and lures overnight, according to the Ukraine Air Force. Of these, 88 were shot dead and another 128 were probably offset by electronic bumps. The strikes targeted the Kyiv, Dnipropetrovsk and Donetsk regions, reports AP. The Ukraine Air Force indicated that it could be the largest drone assault by Russia since the war began. However, Ukrainian officials have not yet officially confirmed the assessment, reports The Associated Press. The Drone strike exceeded Russia’s previous largest well -known single drone attack during the war, which launched 267 drones on the eve of the third anniversary of the conflict. This latest assault followed Friday’s direct talks between Moscow and Kyiv – their first in years – which ended without a ceasefire agreement. Despite the fact that he proposed direct negotiations, although not at presidential level, Putin Zelensky’s offer for a face-to-face meeting in Turkiye rejected. The offer was made as part of Ukraine’s pressure, backed by Western allies, including the United States, for a 30-day frame. The purpose of Moscow is to “eliminate the causes of this crisis the conditions for a lasting peace and guarantee Russia’s safety.” Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said he plans to talk to Putin by phone, followed by Zelensky and leaders of various NATO countries, about ending the war in Ukraine, according to the report.
