Vladimir Putin is regretful over the war in Ukraine, according to the latest claim by one of his closest allies, as US defence officials warned North Korean troops will become 'legitimate targets' if they are seen to fight alongside Russian forces.
Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko delivered a wide-ranging interview with the BBC and state-owned broadcaster BelTA this week in which he was asked whether his Russian counterpart had regrets over launching his so-called 'special military operation' in Ukraine.

'Both sides suffer heavy losses... Does Putin regret it or not? Of course he regrets. He's a living man.'

Ukraine's 'I Want to Live' project, a hotline encouraging Russian soldiers to surrender, published a video in Korean on Wednesday calling for North Korean soldiers to give up.
'We call for the soldiers of the Korean People's Army, who were sent to help the Putin regime. You should not die senselessly on someone else's land. There is no need to repeat the fate of hundreds of thousands of Russian soldiers who will never return home!' it said.

Russia has gained territory that comprised 70-80% of Ukraine's GDP, built a land bridge from mainland Russia to Crimea and several million new citizens.
But, Putin has regrets so Ukraine and NATO really won?!
If there was any doubt you're an idiot (and there isn't any), you continue to prove you are one.
All those who are pining for World War 3... Please get your heads out of your *sses. It’s not going to happen.
And look at the big brain on Alexander Lukashenko... North Korean’s will be targets?? More like drone fodder for Putin’s ‘regretful’ invasion of the Ukraine.
US/NATO has been working to start World War III for years.
Four foot four Nork midgets stronk as Mao! Liberate Kursk in 3 days!
Why is Putin expressing “regret” now ? Because he wants Trump to go easy on him when they meet.
I believe you are mistaken. No one wants WW III. China does not want it, Russia does not want it, NATO does not want it, the USA does not want it.
To believe some shadowy group wants WWIII is a way to explain events which are partly caused by random actions. Some people need to believe some ultra powerful group is in charge of the world, and whose desires make all major events happen.
Is is a "god" substitute.
The World Wars started and continued, because major players misread the reality of the technology and psychology of their adversaries.
They were based on major mistakes.
Belarus could become the real tinderbox, if something happens to Lukashenko.
The Russians would move in, and that would put them right on the border with Poland.
Progressives and globalist’s mouths are watering at the thought.
President Trump is going to eat Putin’s lunch in 3 months. And Xi is already getting ready to throw Putin under the bus after Trump is back in office.
They aren't our legitimate targets, but the Ukraine will want to hit them.
Trump and Xi are going to squish your Putin like a bug in 3 months.
“Regrets?, I have a few, but then again, too few to mention...”
They will all defect to the other side. It’s their only chance.......................
Kyiv in 3 days!
No, that "shadowy group" (the WEF/elite and the politicians they own) is all about making as much money as possible and don't care who they have to abuse to get their hands on it.
Greed and ruthlessness is what has as closer WW III and nuclear war than we ever were during the Cold War.
Foreign policy used to be about protecting our national interest and freeing the rest of the world from tyranny.
In the past 15 to 20 years or so, it's all been about making money for the Western elite and the defense industry.
Doesn't seem to be a problem to Biden and Zelensky. Says alot about them.
