'A very difficult time for Russia' Russian President Vladimir Putin says there are 'historic changes' in the world that determine the future of Russia and adds that the Russian govt 'will step-by-step continue to resolve the objectives before us'

It should be noted that these claims are unfounded and Ukraine insists Russia is waging a war against the country, and it wants to remain a country independent of Moscow. Vladimir Putin has started delivering his major address on his plans for the war in Ukraine. China is"deeply worried" the Ukraine conflict could spiral out of control, the country's foreign minister has said, as he called on certain countries to"stop fuelling the fire".
Qin's comments came as Russia's news agency TASS said China's top diplomat Wang Yi was due to arrive in Moscow later today. Putin will try to inspire confidence again. He'll say that economically, things are under control. That provisions are made for those who need it. And about the importance of further militarisation of the economy, how to ramp up industry to meet the demands of the"special military operation".
To try to counter the narrative, and the sense I think a lot of people feel here, that they're on their own.While we will be bringing you all the latest updates throughout the day, we'll also be hosting a special programme later this evening. "This message goes Ukraine will definitely win this war and Russia will never win because for Russia this is an unwinnable and unsustainable war," he said.
He said Kyiv needs the weaponry"sooner rather than later" as it is preparing to launch a fresh counteroffensive. Speaking during a meeting with officials, Alexander Lukashenko said the country needs to create paramilitary units in every town or village to serve as territorial defence to complement the country's 45,000 military"in case of aggression".
Since then, Moscow has maintained about 10,000 troops in Belarus and the two countries have regularly conducted joint drills as part of their military alliance.
