President Valdimir Putin said Russia would not militarize the country's economy
Russia not to blame for conflict, says Putin
MOSCOW — Russian President Vladimir Putin believes Russia is not to blame for the war in Ukraine, adding both countries are "sharing a tragedy".During a televised address with senior military officials, the Russian president said he continued to see Ukraine as a "brotherly nation".He claimed the conflict was "the result of the policy of third countries" and not down to Russian policy.The theory, which implies Western expansion is the cause, has been repeatedly dismissed outside Russia.President Putin claimed the West had "brainwashed" post-Soviet republics, starting with Ukraine.He said: "For years, we tried to build good-neighborly relations with Ukraine, offering loans and cheap energy, but it did not work."There's nothing to accuse...

Zelensky visits Bakhmut; Putin admits ‘extreme difficulty’ in four annexed regions
KYIV/ MOSCOW — Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelensky on Tuesday visited Bakhmut, which has been at the epicenter of fierce fighting in recent weeks.Earlier this month, he said Russian forces had turned the eastern Ukrainian city into ruins in trying to conquer it in recent months.Zelensky’s office said the visit included meeting and chatting with military personnel.Bakhmut remains in Ukrainian hands and has done for the almost 10-month war. The resistance has thwarted Moscow’s goal of capturing Donetsk province, part of the Donbas region bordering Russia.Taking Bakhmut would rupture Ukraine’s supply lines and open a route for Russian forces to press on toward Kramatorsk and Sloviansk, which are key Ukrainian strongholds in the province.Pro-Moscow separatists have controlled part...
