Putin says Russia could take rest of Donetsk faster than expected
Original: Russia could seize remaining Kyiv-held areas of Donetsk sooner than Ukraine, Europe anticipate: Putin
President Vladimir Putin said Russian forces could seize the remaining Kyiv-held parts of Ukraine's Donetsk region sooner than Ukraine and European governments anticipate. The claim signals continued Russian pressure on the eastern front despite ongoing diplomatic talk about possible settlements. Ukrainian and European officials have not endorsed the timeline, and the battlefield situation in Donetsk remains one of the war's most contested areas.
Why now: Fresh comments from Putin about the pace of Russia's offensive in Donetsk come as attention focuses on the war's trajectory and possible peace negotiations.
