Putin vows to press attacks on Ukraine after meeting with Turkey's Erdogan: AP
Russian President Vladimir Putin on Friday vowed to press his attack on Ukraine, despite the latest counteroffensive with Ukraine claiming it regained control of almost 400 settlements, according to the the Associated Press.
Putin met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Samarkand, Uzbekistan Friday, on the sidelines of a security alliance summit, to discuss economic cooperation and regional issues, including the agreement allowing Ukrainian grain exports to resume, which was brokered by Turkey and the United Nations, according to the AP.
Putin told reporters the "liberation" of Ukraine's entire eastern Donbas region remained Russia's main military goal and that he sees no need to revise it, saying "we aren't in a rush," according to the AP.
Asked about the Ukrainian counteroffensive, Putin said, "Let’s how it develops and how it ends," according to the AP.
