Russian President Vladimir Putin pointed out in an exclusive interview with all-Russian radio and television reporters today that the Ukrainian armed forces have continued to use missiles and drones to launch attacks on Russia over the past 40 days in an attempt to defeat Russia, but this “is just an adventure.” He said that the attack by the Ukrainian army did not cause any substantial turning point. Putin also said that in response to the Ukrainian military's attack on civilian facilities in Russia, the Russian military increased its attacks on Ukrainian enterprises, and that Russia's retaliatory attacks were “more destructive” and “hit the Kiev regime hard.”
