Speaking at a security conference in Kazakstan, Putin said he did not rule out targeting government buildings in Kyiv with Moscow’s new hypersonic missile.
And while he’s waiting for Donald Trump to move back into the White House, he’s making sure to send messages in a language he knows lands well with the president-elect: Praise. At the event he called Trump a "smart person", capable of finding ‘solutions’. Remember, Trump promised to end the war in Ukraine on day one and many expect him to push Kyiv to give in to Russia’s demands.
Those comments followed another major Russian aerial attack on Ukraine’s energy infrastructure. Ukraine says Moscow fired nearly 200 missiles and drones during the barrage — leaving more than a million households without power.
Meanwhile, Russia’s central bank is considering raising interest rates, as the ruble falls to its lowest levels since the start of the war in Ukraine. The currency has dropped sharply since the US imposed sanctions on a string of Russian banks involved in foreign trade. But President Vladimir Putin says there’s no reason to panic.
