Moscow (ST): Russian President Vladimir Putin has criticized the irresponsible statements made by European Union representatives about the need for a “military resolution” in Ukraine and how they ignore the many war crimes committed by Ukrainian forces there.
This came during a telephone conversation today between Putin and European Council President Charles Michel, which dealt with the reality of the measures taken by Russia to protect civilians as part of its military operation in Ukraine, especially in the city of Mariupol.
Putin stressed that Brussels could influence the Kiev authorities to force them to stop the massive bombing of residential areas in Donbas and other serious violations of international humanitarian law.
