Putin: foreign forces in Ukraine are legitimate targets for Russia

Russian President Vladimir Putin has stated that foreign forces in Ukraine are legitimate targets for Russia.

Putin proposed to US envoys Steve Wittkoff and Jared Kushner the organization of a humanitarian mission from the Ukrainian city of Kostiantynivka, drawing on the experience in Oleshky.

Steve Wittkoff and Jared Kushner arrived in the Russian capital, Moscow, on Thursday morning for talks with President Putin. The visit is part of Washington's efforts to advance negotiations aimed at ending the war in Ukraine, following a round of trilateral discussions hosted in Abu Dhabi over two days, which failed to achieve a breakthrough on key issues.
