Russian President spoke on war in Ukraine and Gaza; said Western aid is starting to dry up: ‘Free supplies for Ukraine are about to run out.’

Russian President Vladimir Putin was interviewed Thursday morning about the continuation of the war in Ukraine and the future of Russia.

The interview was held by the Russian president’s court journalist, Pavel Zarubin, who screened thousands of questions sent to Putin by Russian citizens and forwarded the selected questions to the president.

During the interview, Putin also referred to Israel’s war against Hamas, dubbed “Swords of Iron,” and called the situation in Gaza a “catastrophe.”

Putin claimed that since invading Ukraine almost two years ago, “Russia has strengthened its sovereignty.”

During the interview, which was held before an audience, Putin made it clear to those who thought that his demands for ending the war had changed: “There will be peace with Ukraine only when we achieve our goals and these goals have not changed.”

“This includes the de-Nazification and disarmament of Ukraine,” added the Russian president.

Putin also referred to the supply of weapons from the West: “Ukraine produces almost nothing today, everything comes from the West, but free supplies are going to run out at some stage, and it seems that this is already starting to happen.”

During the interview, Putin was shown a video of the veterans’ regiment named after him. The soldiers were lamenting that not all regiments in the Russian army receive the same benefits. The Russian president responded and said that he would ensure that matters are corrected.
