Russian President Vladimir Putin has warned that Russia will use military force to achieve its goals in Ukraine.
.After visiting a Russian armed forces command post on Saturday, he accused Ukraine of not being interested in a peaceful resolution to the war.
'Ukraine does not seem to be in a hurry for a peaceful resolution,' President Putin said, adding, 'If Kiev does not want peace, Russia will achieve all the goals of the special military operation by military means.'
Work on establishing a buffer zone on the Russian-Ukrainian border is proceeding according to plan, and Russian troops are making progress along the entire line of contact in the Donbass and Zaporizhia regions, he claimed.
President Putin made this observation after meeting with Chief of General Staff Valery Gerasimov and commanders of various battle groups.
Earlier on Sunday, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky accused Russia of not wanting peace. Zelensky, who arrived in Florida for talks with US President Donald Trump, made the accusation.
Russia launched air and drone strikes on several parts of Ukraine, including Kiev, on Friday.
Two people were killed and 32 injured in the 10-hour missile and drone attack, local officials said.
Zelensky said the attack, which came as preparations for talks were underway, made it clear that Russia was not in favor of peace.
