MOSCOW: Russian President Vladimir Putin firmly denied the prospect of a ceasefire regarding long-range strikes against Ukraine during a recent news conference. Moscow has intensified its aerial assaults on Kyiv, while Ukraine alleges that Russia is deliberately targeting civilian areas, leaving the Ukrainian capital in a perpetual state of alert in anticipation of another challenging winter.
In response to Ukraine's efforts to curtail Russia's energy revenues by striking refineries, oil and fuel depots, and exporting facilities, Putin dismissed the notion as "ridiculous." When queried about Russia's reaction to Ukraine's proposal, Putin unequivocally stated, "No." According to Putin, Russia suffered a GDP loss of roughly one percent due to Ukrainian strikes on refineries, which resulted in nationwide fuel shortages during the summer.
Furthermore, Russia has been targeting Ukraine's steel enterprises and supply chains, particularly in the railway sector, and major warehouses, thereby severely disrupting grain exports through the Black Sea - a vital revenue source for Kyiv.
