UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson says Western nations should not lift sanctions on Moscow until all Russian troops leave Ukraine. · President Vladimir Putin has ...

“We believe that Putin is being misinformed by his advisers about how badly the Russian military is performing and how the Russian economy has been crippled by sanctions because his senior advisers are too afraid to tell him the truth.” The latest round of negotiations was held in Turkey this week. “We have information that Putin felt misled by the Russian military, which has resulted in persistent tension between Putin and his military leadership,” Kate Bedingfield, White House communications director, told reporters during a news briefing. Russian President Vladimir Putin has been misled by his advisers about the Russian military’s performance in Ukraine, the White House has said. “For this humanitarian operation to succeed, we propose to carry it out with the direct participation of the UN High Commissioner for Refugees [UNHCR] and the International Committee of the Red Cross [ICRC],” the ministry statement said. “We don’t believe anyone, not a single beautiful phrase,” Zelenskyy said in a video address to the nation, adding that Russian troops were regrouping to strike the eastern Donbas region. Freedom should be armed no worse than tyranny.” Bociurkiw, a former spokesman for the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE) in Ukraine, was speaking after Russia announced it would implement a ceasefire on Thursday to allow for civilian evacuations from the Ukrainian port city of Mariupol. Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy has said he does not trust Russian promises to scale back military activity and that the Ukrainian military was getting ready for further fighting in the country’s east. “We’ve seen Russian soldiers – short of weapons and morale – refusing to carry out orders, sabotaging their own equipment and even accidentally shooting down their own aircraft,” Fleming said in a speech in Canberra at the Australian National University, according to a transcript of his remarks. The head of the United Kingdom’s spy agency has said new intelligence shows that some Russian soldiers in Ukraine had refused to carry out orders. “If we really are fighting for freedom and in defense of democracy together, then we have a right to demand help in this difficult turning point,” Zelenskyy said in his nighttime video address to the nation.
