Russian President Vladimir Putin said Wednesday that Moscow will extend its invasion of Ukraine if Kyiv and its allies do not meet his maximalist demands in the strained peace talks.
Speaking at an annual meeting with his top military officers, Putin said Moscow was open to ending the war diplomatically as President Trump pushes for a breakthrough in the peace discussions.
Putin, however, reiterated that Russia would make no concessions and that it would achieve its goals through military might if the negotiations fall apart.
