Russian President Vladimir Putin says Moscow’s offensive on Ukraine’s Kharkiv region aims to create a buffer zone but not to capture the city.

Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Friday during a visit to China that Moscow’s offensive in Ukraine’s northeastern Kharkiv region aims to create a buffer zone but that there are no plans to capture the city. The remarks were Putin’s first on the offensive launched May 10 that opened a new front and displaced thousands of Ukrainians within days.

He said that Russia was ready for talks but shrugged off Zelensky's peace formula as wishful thinking. Any prospective peace talks should be based on a draft deal negotiated by Russia and Ukraine during their Istanbul talks in 2022, he said.
