Putin LIVE: Furious Putin Issues ’Extermination’ Order To Top Brass After Ukraine’s Kursk Invasion

Russian President Vladimir Putin said Monday that the Ukrainian army’s incursion into the Kursk region, which has caused more than 100,000 civilians to flee and embarrassed the Kremlin, is an attempt by Kyiv to stop Moscow’s offensive in eastern Ukraine’s Donbas region and gain leverage in possible future peace talks. Russian forces are still scrambling to respond to the surprise Ukrainian attack after almost a week of fierce fighting, but Putin insisted Moscow’s army will prevail. Speaking at a meeting with top security and defense officials, Putin said the attack that began Aug. 6 appeared to reflect Kyiv’s attempt to gain a better negotiating position in possible future talks to end the war. He argued that Ukraine may have hoped to cause public unrest in Russia with the attack, adding that it has failed to achieve that goal, and claimed that the number of volunteers to join the Russian military has increased because of the assault. #putin #putinspeech #russiaukrainewar #tnworld #timesnowworld #worldnews #internationalnews #timesnews #newsworld ​Subscribe now: Times Now World is your definitive source for comprehensive global news and analysis.
