Putin increases pressure on Kyiv: There are other regional claims threaten!

New herds of conflict in the Ukraine War: Russia's President Vladimir Putin threatens to annex other areas if the Ukrainian authorities should not recognize the loss of Crimea and the regions of Luhansk, Donetsk, Saporischschja and Cherson as quickly as possible. According to a report by the "Kommersant", Putin explained at a secret meeting with entrepreneurs that Moscow would not raise any demands on Odessa and other regions if Kiev sends cooperation signals. At the same time, he rejected a comprehensive ceasefire in a phone call with US President Donald Trump. The situation continues to escalate since Russia has occupied around 3,600 square kilometers of Ukrainian soil since the conflict began over three years ago.

The Ukrainian counter -reaction to the ongoing attacks is obvious: During the night, Russia fired six rockets and 145 drones to various Ukrainian cities. A person died in an attack on a residential building in the Sumy region and three others were injured. In a dramatic report by the Ukrainian army, 72 of the fired drones were shot down, but none of the rockets. Following the attacks, the Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj said that Russia did not want to end the war. He appealed to the United States to monitor a ceasefire and concentrated on the protection of the energy infrastructure, which is severely damaged by the constant attacks.
