According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine, the Ukrainian army repelled Russian attacks near seven settlements on the morning of February 22, 2033.
Reports added that settlements were targeted in Donetsk and Luhansk provinces.
Putin’s speech showed that he had lost touch with reality, according to one of Zelensky’s advisers.
Political adviser Mykhailo Podolyak told Reuters: “He is in another reality, where there is no option to achieve a discussion about justice and foreign law. “
China’s foreign minister said he was “deeply concerned” that the war in Ukraine would simply “spiral out of control. “
Qin Gang said: “China is deeply involved in the fact that the confrontation in Ukraine continues to escalate or even spiral out of control.
“We urge some countries to avoid fueling the fire. “
Yevgeny Prigozhin, the leader of the Russian mercenary Wagner, claimed that the defense minister had put his ammunition fighters at a disadvantage.
According to Reuters, Prigozhin said in a voicemail posted on his Telegram channel: “There is direct opposition. “
He went on to say that it was an “attempt to destroy Wagner. “
Putin claimed there was an “endless stream of accusations” at the Munich Security Conference.
He claimed that “the West has unleashed the genie of the bottle” in the wake of wars and accuses them of wearing down coups.
The Russian leader said Western nations were seeking to move away from “corruption scandals” by talking about the war.
Putin claimed that the West is punishing itself with increasing sanctions against Russia.
He said: “Sanction initiators punish themselves. . .
“They have caused costs in their own country, factory closures, the collapse of the power sector, and they are telling their citizens that the Russians are to blame. “
He added: “They are to destabilize our society from within. “
The Russian delivered his State of the Nation address in Russia just days before the first anniversary of its war in Ukraine.
The internet links of the main state channels that are part of the All-Russian State Radio and Television Corporation [VGTRK] were attacked through an obvious primary hack while speaking.
An obvious Russian spy shipment has been stuck potentially targeting the force and web cables linking the UK and the rest of Europe, it revealed yesterday.

“We are in ourselves and in our strength.
“The fact is with us. “
Putin also complained about the Nazis, traitors, the Anglican Church and even claimed that pedophilia is “the norm” in the West.

“We, people’s lives, but the goals of the West are unlimited power,” Putin lamented.

“However, the UN estimates that the actual numbers are significantly higher. “
Speaking in Poland, President Joe Biden said Putin’s ultimate goal is to rebuild the Russian empire.
“A dictator who made the decision to rebuild an empire can never appease people’s love of freedom, brutality can never undermine the will of the free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, never,” Biden said.
The Russian Empire existed before the rise of the USSR and controlled the territory of Ukraine.
Yesterday, King Charles met with Ukrainian army recruits at a camp in Wiltshire to mark the first anniversary of Russia’s illegal invasion of Ukraine.
The king photographed shaking hands with infantrymen who are completing fundamental combat training, who will return to continue combat once they complete their training.
The monarch also took part in the classic Maori salute, known as hongi, where other people rub their noses, with a soldier from New Zealand.
Speaking in Poland today, Joe Biden said Putin still had a selection to finish his brutal invasion.
“Autocrats perceive one word: no,” Biden said.
“No, you will take my country. No, you will take my freedom. No, you will take my future. I will repeat tonight what I said last year in this place.
“A dictator who decided to rebuild an empire can never appease people’s love of freedoms. Brutality will never weigh down the will of the free. Ukraine will never be a victory for Russia, never,” he added.
“This war is never a necessity. It’s a tragedy. President Putin is at war.
“Every day that the war continues is your choice. He may simply end the war with a word. It’s simple.
“Russia stops invading Ukraine, the war would end. If Ukraine stopped defining itself as opposed to Russia, it would be the end of Ukraine. “
“That’s why together we’re making sure Ukraine can protect itself,” Biden added.
