Russian President Vladimir Putin has said there is no need for more massive strikes on Ukraine, days after the heaviest bombardment of the country since the war began.
He said most designated targets of the strikes had been hit, adding that it was not his aim to destroy Ukraine.
Moscow's goal of mobilising 300,000 men would be met within two weeks, he said.
Mr Putin's words come as Russian forces seem stalled and Ukraine advances, almost eight months since the invasion.
Speaking to journalists after a summit with regional leaders in Kazakhstan's capital Astana, the Russian leader said that the recent strikes had destroyed 22 out of the 29 targets in Ukraine set by the military and that "they are getting" the remaining seven.
"There's no need for massive strikes. We now have other tasks," he said.
He said it was not Russia's intention to destroy Ukraine, but he did not regret the invasion.
"What is happening today is not pleasant, to put things mildly," he said. "But all the same, [if Russia hadn't attacked] we would have been in the same situation, only the conditions would have been worse for us. So we're doing everything correctly and at the right time."

Let me guess, more with the off the top of your head stuff?

Your “simple explanation” is without evidence, so can be refuted without evidence 🤗
What Poootin is saying -— that if you Ukrainians hit the Kerch Bridge again, then I unleash more missiles. And more than last time.
The Kerch truck bomb(?) damage has really hurt Russian efforts. They were being refueled via that bridge’s railway line. Now the Ukies can roll them back even more, and get more weaponry left behind, as the Russkies cut and run towards Crimea.
I was under the impression that Russia was able to manufacture missiles.
Putin thought the fix was in at the beginning of the war.
Putin was told that he would take Kyiv in 3 days.
After the attacks started, Biden, Marcron and Scholz told Zelensky to flee to Turkey or Poland. Zelensky said no.
While the Kherson collaborators did what they were supposed to do and open the gates to the enemy, the rest of Ukraine didn’t.
What Putin didn’t expect was that Ukraine would fight back at the beginning.
Particularly at Hostomel, Kharkiv, Mariupol and Nickolaev.
So Putin didn’t plan to have to fight a real war at the beginning.
Putin’s actions ARE the evidence
obviously you’ve never read the Sherlock Holmes books, or you would understand how actions always reveal the truth
stay naive
Mobilizing 300,000 troops that don’t want to go must be an interesting task, especially when they don’t want to go.
Hope all you’re saying and theorizing comes true. Yeah, I saw some of those tweets too.
Dmitry Patrushev would be installed to end Putin’s idiotic war.
BOTTOM LINE is, Putin is bad for business. Business in Russia, Germany, Europe, everywhere.
ZelenskyyIdiot and his neo-Nazi goons ARE the evidence.
I heard that swastika tattoos are very hard to remove from the skin....
Probably running short of missiles. Waiting on more shipments from Iran and NK.
“Probably” don’t win wars, just ask Zelenskyyidiot....
If Putin gets his underground nuke test, then we’ll know that he’s still calling the shots.
A bunch of Russian war bloggers who were critical of Putin’s war performance have disappeared of the past few days.
And Strelkov/Girkin is now under “criminal investigation” by Russia.
British and NATO have been training Ukraine's army ever since Russian invaded and took Crimea in 2014. Genius Putin must have never seen these reports. Or figured his Army could roll over the Ukies anyway. Putin might have been sick and paranoid from Covid and figured he must do now, before he croaks. Ironically, Putin seems healthier now, he thrives on the evil shit he does.
And how were you able to read putins mind to know what his motivation is??
Add that “probably running short of missiles” to the months and months of Western/US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media along with FR folks like marcusmaximus, timberrattler, lodi, etc., etc. telling us that Russia was out...............

Putin does look healthier lately. That deer antler blood must work.
ZelenskyyIdiot regime style tactics, awesome sauce.
Hope that blood continues to work, cause according to the likes of you and others within FR along with the Western/US/UK/EU/NATO propaganda ridden media, Putin had 32 types of heart failures, diseases, etc. and was going to die months ago........
