Vladimir Putin stated that the AFU are striking Russia to "destabilize society", Zelenskyy's open letter creates "conflict potential", and NATO countries are "preparing for war". The Russian president stated this at a meeting with graduates of military universities in the Kremlin, according to "Dozhd".
In his opinion, the Ukrainian army allegedly intentionally strikes civilian infrastructure with drones to "destabilize society" and "create some uncertainty in the actions" of the Russian army.
The open letter from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, in which he proposed a meeting, according to Putin, "does not create prerequisites for peace negotiations," but rather "forms conflict potential."
Putin also accused the "pseudo-democratic West" of talking about preparing for war with Russia and increasing military budgets. According to him, Western countries allegedly "create threats" and provoke Russia, after which they accuse it of "all mortal sins."
Putin compared this to the events of 1941: "Even after the treacherous attack on the Soviet Union on June 22, 1941 – precisely a treacherous attack – the West, Hitler's Germany, tried to accuse the USSR and Stalin of aggression against, as we say today, the collective West."
Russian Investigative Committee named responsible persons and perpetrators who, according to its version, attacked a bus with Belarusian children near Bryansk 1717
