- On Wednesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin lashed out at European leaders, calling them `little pigs` and vowed to achieve Russia’s Ukraine goals through diplomacy or military action.

- Kyiv and its European allies are concerned by demands for Ukrainian territorial concessions and want stronger security guarantees as the nuclear-capable Oreshnik missile enters combat duty this month.
