The ultimate goal is to “liberate” Donbass and obtain security guarantees – It makes no sense to set an expiration date for the “special military operation” in Ukraine, says the Russian president.
Russian President Vladimir Putin has not ruled out the possibility of “tensions” in Moscow’s relationship with Finland and Sweden, following the decision of the two countries to join NATO, as reported by Interfax and Ria.
Russia, Putin said, would be forced to respond with the same currency if NATO infrastructure was developed in the two Nordic countries, denouncing NATO’s “imperialist ambitions”, which it seeks to “confirm its hegemony”.
The Russian president insisted that Russian forces were advancing on Ukraine and achieving their goals. According to Interfax, he said that the objectives of this “special military operation”, as Moscow calls it, have not changed, but “there may be different tactics.” The ultimate goal, he continued, is to “liberate” Donbass and obtain security guarantees.
He added that it made no sense to set an expiration date for the “special military operation” and reiterated, commenting on the missile strike on a Ukrainian shopping mall in the city of Kremenchuk, that Russia was not hitting political targets.
