He said,Russians and Ukrainians are one people — and in that sense, all of Ukraine is ours. But we’ve never challenged anyone’s right to seek sovereignty. From the outset, we urged Kiev to end the conflict and withdraw all troops from disputed territories. They refused.Ukraine using dirty BOMB against Russia would be ‘COLOSSAL’ mistake.‘Maybe it would be their LAST mistake,’ Putin said. "Ukraine incursed into Kursk and lost 76,000 troops — a disaster. We drove them out, but they kept threatening us across the border. Now we must create a buffer zone.Their units are 47% staffed. They’ve stretched the front 2,000 km. Militarily, it’s stupidity," he further elaborated.
