On occasion utilizing Russian shoptalk, Putin said Russia wouldn't take an alternate route in Ukraine.

Putin further said Ukraine had purposely stirred things up around town hydro-electric dam on June 6 with U.S.- provided HIMARS rockets, a stage he said had likewise thwarted Kyiv's counteroffensive endeavors. Ukraine says Russia exploded the dam, which Russian powers caught right off the bat in the conflict.
Putin said Russia expected to battle adversary specialists and work on its guards against assaults a somewhere inside its own area, yet that there was compelling reason need to follow Ukraine's model and proclaim military regulation.
