putin has defended in a meeting with war correspondents that he is considering “various plans”although straight away he has assured that they are secret and that they will take into account “the catastrophic losses” that Kiev is suffering, which he estimated at more than 160 tanks and 360 armored vehicles from June 4 to now.

And among those plans would be to return to the conquest of kyiv. In his own words, “This is a question that only I can answer. Should Russia try to conquer kyiv again?“. That is the great doubt, the dilemma that does not stop spinning in his head.

In that meeting, the president, in addition to using the expression ‘Special military operation’, did not hesitate to use the word “war” on several occasions; according to the agency Reuters. The same agency points out that the head of the Kremlin has taken advantage of the meeting to issue several warnings to the West and has even suggested that Russia should create a “sanitary zone” in Ukraine in order to repel its attacks.

“Everything will depend on the potential that exists at the time the so-called counteroffensive ends.. That’s the key,” she pointed out. “We’ll see what the situation is. And starting from this we will take the next steps, “was his answer to the question of whether Moscow is preparing its own offensive.

grain agreement

On the other hand, Putin has acknowledged that he is also seriously considering abandoning the Turkey-UN sponsored Black Sea ‘grain deal’, which expires in mid-July.

“Unfortunately they have deceived us again, did nothing to release supplies to foreign markets. I mean freight, insurance, payments, Rosseljozbank’s connection to the Swift system,” he explained, in statements collected by efe.

Putin recalled that the grain agreement “had many different conditions that Westerners had to meet under the auspices of the UN.” And he considers that these promises have not been fulfilled.

However, he wanted to make it clear that Russia did not sign the agreement to favor Ukraine“but for our friendly countries in Africa and Latin America. Because the grain must go first of all to the poorest countries,” he remarked.

Western support for Ukraine

Regarding Ukraine’s resistance capacity, he insisted that Zelensky cannot forever count on the weapons support of the West, to which Kiev has asked for more tanks, anti-missile batteries and also F-16 fighters.

The United States “appears as if it does not fear (an escalation). Instead, there there are a lot of reasonable people who don’t want to take things to a Third World Warin which there will be no winners, including the US,” he said.

And he assured that the Leopard 2 tanks supplied by European countries and the American Bradley armored vehicles “burn beautifully.”

He also recognized that, despite the rearmament that began eight years ago, the Russian Army lacks precision ammunition, communications equipment and drones. “During the special military operation it became clear that there were many things missing (…) We must produce different, offensive and spy drones. But this takes time,” he admitted to the bloggers and war correspondents he himself had invited.
