The Kremlin on Saturday night released a video of Russian President Vladimir Putin in military uniform receiving reports from top military officials in an unidentified military command post. Speaking with military officials, Putin reiterated that “if Kyiv authorities are not willing to end the matter peacefully, we will achieve all the goals we have in the special military operation by military means.” Putin said that there are now “smart people in the West who recommend that the Kyiv authorities accept decent terms for ending the conflict, and provide good basic conditions for ensuring Ukraine’s security in the long historical perspective, conditions for restoring relations with the Russian Federation and restoring the Ukrainian economy.”
