Won't make concessions to end war on Ukraine: Vladimir Putin

The Russian leader's comments signal a growing confidence in the Kremlin as its troops advance in eastern Ukraine and evidence of war fatigue emerges among some of Kyiv's allies. The interview came after Putin hosted the largest gathering of world leaders in Russia since the start of the February 2022 full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Some in attendance at the BRICS summit spoke about the need to de-escalate the conflict, but nobody publicly confronted Putin.
