“They plan to call back fire from Russian strike systems on residential areas. In fact, they act like terrorists around the world, ”he said.

Putin also said that “the nationalist elements embedded in the regular Ukrainian units not only incite them to provide armed resistance, but, in fact, play the role of detachments.”
