In extracts of an interview to be broadcast late Sunday on Rossiya-1 television, Putin did not specify exactly which targets could be hit nor the exact range of the missiles to which Moscow would react. Putin said that the sole aim of the West supplying arms to Ukraine was “to prolong the conflict for as long as possible”.Meanwhile, Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelensky said the battle for Ukraine’s eastern city of Severodonetsk was being waged street by street, while explosions rocked the capital Kyiv early this morning.
