Vladimir Putin

Longstanding leader calls for dialogue with the West ‘free of arrogance, conceit, or sense of exceptionalism.’

Moscow’s warning coincides with 75th anniversary of transatlantic alliance’s foundation.

Russian officials, including President Putin, appear intent on pointing the finger at Kyiv and its powerful Western ally.

French President Emmanuel Macron recently asserted that he believes sending NATO troops to Ukraine could be a realistic prospect should the war persist.

Moscow claims incursions were aimed at disrupting presidential election won—unsurprisingly—by longstanding leader Vladimir Putin.

Russian President Vladimir Putin won a record landslide election on Sunday, Russian officials said.

Kyiv and its allies decry ‘sham elections’ as Moscow’s ‘new territories’ take part in the vote.

Recalling ill-fated Minsk Accords, Russia’s leader says any talks with Kyiv must be more than mere ‘pause to allow the enemy to rearm.’

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov said Russia has not—and will not—interfere in U.S. elections, while claiming Russia’s democracy is the “best of the best.”

Ceremony for Putin’s fiercest domestic critic draws well-wishers despite Kremlin’s warning against ‘unauthorized gatherings.’

Withdrawals coincide with unverified claims that a U.S.-supplied Abrams tank was destroyed—for the first time—near the Russian-held town of Avdiivka.

Russia, with several allies including China, Cuba and South Africa, launches ‘Forum of Supporters of the Struggle Against Modern Practices of Neocolonialism.’

Officials in Kyiv and Washington blame the fall of Avdiivka on the continued delay of U.S. assistance earmarked for Ukraine’s struggling war effort.
