Russian President Vladimir Putin said that it is currently impossible to announce a specific timeframe for the end of the conflict in Ukraine.
Modern.az reports that the Russian head of state stated this while answering journalists' questions at a press conference held after his visit to Kazakhstan.
"As for the statement that the conflict is coming to an end, I made it not without reason, but based on the situation on the battlefield. There, our troops are advancing every day in all directions," he noted.
He also commented on the statements of several European politicians regarding Russia's alleged preparations for war with Europe.
"This is nonsense and a lie," Vladimir Putin said.
According to him, the responsibility for what is happening in Ukraine lies with European countries
