Putin: There is reason to believe the Russia-Ukraine conflict is nearing its end
Xinhua News Agency, Astana, May 29 - According to a report by the Russian news agency today, citing President Putin, there is reason to believe that the Russia-Ukraine conflict is nearing its end based on the situation on the battlefield of the special military operation. However, under the current circumstances of ongoing hostilities, it is impossible to define a specific timeline for the end of the Russia-Ukraine conflict.
