@livenewshub: Putin has openly stated his goal for the first time, and it is no longer just about Donbas. At the United Russia congress, he made it clear that Moscow wants to take control of the entire Donbas, and then move on to Novorossiya. A term that remains highly controversial and closely watched in Kyiv. He also made another strong statement, saying that Ukraine would pay with territory for its operation in the Kursk region. Moreover, he indicated that he sees no basis for negotiations. Any scenario that would allow Ukraine to regroup, Moscow considers unacceptable. “The rescue of the Kyiv regime is not part of our plans,” Putin said. Against this backdrop, another statement followed. Moscow claims that Ukrainian forces are retreating along the front line. There is no independent confirmation of this, but the tone of the statements has clearly changed. Putin is no longer hinting at his goals — he is stating them directly. For now, there is little sign of negotiations, and neither side appears ready to make concessions. The stakes continue to rise with each passing day. And the question is no longer when the conflict will end, but where Russia intends to stop. In Donbas, or further beyond, as Putin suggested when speaking about Novorossiya?#Putin #Zelenski #Ukraina #Daily News # Russia
