Vladimir Putin reiterated Russia’s territorial claims in Ukraine during a meeting with employees and beneficiaries of the “Defenders of the Fatherland” Foundation on March 6.Putin said, “We do not need anything foreign, but we will not give up what is ours,” according to an online translation.Valerievna Dorokhina, the wife of a Russian officer and mother of a soldier killed in June 2022, echoed this sentiment, saying “But only we must reach the end, we must not yield to anyone.”“We have no plans to do that,” Putin replied.Putin’s remarks conflicted with comments from US President Donald Trump the following day, during which he said he believed Putin when he said he wants peace. ‘He wants to end the war, and I think he’s gonna be more generous than he has to be,” Trump said. “They’re bombing the hell of Ukraine…and Ukraine….I’m find it more difficult, frankly, to deal with Ukraine.” Credit: Kremlin via Storyful
