Kyiv hints counterttack coming ‘very soon’ as Wagner mercenaries ‘run out of steam’
“We are acting correctly, because it is Russia that attacked Ukraine, it is Russia that is on Ukrainian territory and when Russia withdraws its troops the war will end immediately.”
“But because of geopolitical reasons and the history of what happened, for a long time we put up with the fact that we live in different ‘apartments’. We were forced to deal with this, with these invented borders,” he added, claiming that most of Ukraine’s territory and people were always part of “the Russian empire … of Great Russia”.
Germany’s justice minister has said it would comply with an arrest warrant for Mr Putin, and on Thursday the country’s foreign minister Annalena Baerbock said: “Nobody is above the United Nations Charter … nobody can go unpunished for committing war crimes”.
