Russian President Vladimir Putin said he does not feel the need to speak to US President Biden.

The Crimean Bridge that connects the Russian mainland with the Crimean peninsula occupied by Russia in 2014.

The collapse of part of the bridge caused by the explosion of the Crimean bridge, called ‘Putin’s pride’, should be restored until next summer.

After the explosion, Russia launched indiscriminate retaliatory air strikes across Ukraine, including the capital, Kiiu, but the Ukrainian army has not stopped fighting back.

Over the past month, more than 600 villages have been restored, including 75 in the southern Kherson region and 43 in the eastern Donetsk region.

The president of Ukraine reaffirmed the war by offering a wreath to those who died while defending his country.

CNN reported that so-called Iranian kamikaze drones have been used in large numbers in Russia’s indiscriminate airstrikes on Ukraine.

Thanks to these air strikes and the support of the mercenary company Wagner Group, Russian forces are known to be on the verge of occupying the strategic point of Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast.

President Putin spoke about the recent dire situation in Ukraine.

“A confrontation with NATO forces will lead to a global catastrophe,” he said.

“I don’t feel the need to speak to President Biden,” he said.

“Russia’s goal is not to destroy Ukraine,” he said.

Reuters reported that Putin’s remarks appeared to be due to the exhaustion of weapons.
