'All of Ukraine is ours': Putin again speaks about brotherly nations.

Putin demands recognition of realities on the territory

Vladimir Putin, who is referred to as the Russian dictator, spoke at the economic forum in St. Petersburg, stating that Russia is not asking Ukraine to capitulate but is asking the world to acknowledge the current political situation.

'We are not saying that Ukraine should capitulate. We just want the world to accept the objective realities that have developed on the ground,' Putin noted.

In his speeches, he also emphasized that Russia has not violated Ukraine's sovereignty, while simultaneously asserting its claims to the territories where Russian troops are located.

'Wherever a Russian soldier stands, that is our land,' Putin's statements are quoted.

Forecasts and claims to territory

Regarding the situation in Sumy, Putin noted that although Russia has no plans to seize the city, such a possibility cannot be ruled out. He also predicted significant losses for Ukraine in the Kursk region, claiming that their number is 76 thousand people.

'We came to the Kursk region, lost 76 thousand people there. Although we defeated them, they continue to pose a threat along the entire line of the Ukrainian state border. Therefore, we have to create a security zone. And they are diverting reserves there, which they already lack,' Putin commented.

In his speeches, Vladimir Putin continues to emphasize the need to recognize the objective situation on the ground while supporting his aggressive actions in Ukraine and openly expressing claims to Ukrainian territory where the Russian army operates. Such statements lead to increased tension in Ukrainian-Russian relations and deepen the conflict in eastern Ukraine.
