‘Saving the Kyiv regime isn’t part of our plans’: Putin on Ukraine, fuel shortages, and Trump

On the evening of June 28, the Kremlin released a 25-minute “interview” with Vladimir Putin conducted by propagandist Pavel Zarubin. In the published video, Putin is visibly looking away from the correspondent, reading his answers off a teleprompter. The Kremlin’s press service made no mention of Zarubin by name, identifying him only as “a Russian journalist.” During the “interview,” Putin said that Russia’s fuel shortage was “not critical” and that the government intended to address it by ramping up air defense production. He also said Ukraine had put forward a new peace proposal — both sides would halt strikes deep into each other’s territory — but that the Kremlin had already rejected it. Here are the main points of his remarks.

Relentless Barrage Pounds Capital

The essential fact is not simply that Russia struck Kyiv again, but that the pattern has become operationally familiar: large salvos, civilian deaths, damaged apartment blocks, and deliberate pressure on Ukraine’s air-defense system all arrive together.

Russian strikes in Ukraine kill at least 20 ahead of NATO summit

A wave of Russian missiles and drones has struck Ukraine's capital, Kyiv, killing at least 20 people ahead of the NATO summit in Turkey. The attack has renewed Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky's calls for more air defence systems and a spot in NATO. “As long as Patriot missiles remain in our allies' stockpiles, Russia is only encouraged to keep ‘vanquishing’ residential buildings," Mr Zelensky wrote on X. “The United States and Europe have enough strength to stop this terror.”
