US EditionRussia Might Try to Take Ukrainian City of Sumy, Putin Says
- At an economic forum in St. Petersburg on Friday, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated that he did not exclude the possibility of Russian troops gaining control over Sumy, a city in northeastern Ukraine.
- His comments were made in the context of Russia’s military campaign that began in early 2022, highlighting attempts to establish a buffer area within Ukrainian territory near the border.
- Putin asserted that Russians and Ukrainians are essentially one nation and claimed that, by that logic, all of Ukraine belongs to Russia, while also alleging that Ukrainian troops have been regularly targeting areas along the Russian border.
- He announced that Russian forces had advanced as far as 12 kilometers within the Sumy region and remarked, “We have no goal to capture Sumy but, in principle, I do not exclude it,” while Ukraine criticized his statement as showing disregard for efforts toward peace.
- These statements raise new doubts about peace talks since Moscow demands more Ukrainian territory and Kyiv and its allies reject Russia’s claims and its denial of Ukrainian statehood.
