[Putin: Reason to Believe the Russia-Ukraine Conflict is Nearing an End] According to a report by Golden Finance on May 30, citing Russia Today on the 29th, Russian President Putin stated that based on the situation on the battlefield of the special military operation, there is reason to believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is nearing its conclusion. However, under the current circumstances of ongoing hostilities, it is impossible to determine a specific timeline for the end of the conflict. Putin said that Russia's strikes on the Kyiv region were in response to Ukrainian military attacks on the Luhansk region, and that Russian forces are launching offensives across the entire front in the special military operation zone. Putin also remarked that statements by European politicians about preparing for war with Russia are "nonsense," emphasizing that Russia has never threatened European countries in the past or present, but any location posing a direct military threat to Russia will be considered a "legitimate target."
