In the face of severe losses on the battlefield, the “illegal Kiev regime” resorted to organizing terrorist attacks to effort to intimidate Russia, said president Vladimir Putin.
Recent acts of rail sabotage in the Brian and Kursk circuits in Russia were ‘no uncertainty about the terrorist act’ “Putin said.He added that "decisions to commit specified crimes were evidently taken in Ukraine" by political leaders."The attack on the civilian population was deliberate" “Putin said.
"And this only confirms our concerns that the illegal government in Kiev, which erstwhile took over, gradually transforms into a terrorist organization and its sponsors become terrorist partners".The president accused Ukraine and its western supporters of pursuing a strategical defeat of Russia on the battlefield.
Now, he said, Kiev changes tactics among rising losses and failures on the front line."Today, among major losses and withdrawals throughout the contact line, Kiev's management turned to organise terrorist acts to intimidate Russia" – Putin said.Despite this, he added Ukrainian officials are asking for a break in battles and propose meetings at the highest level.
“But how can specified meetings be held under specified conditions?”– Putin said.
“What is there to talk about? Who negotiates with those who trust on panic – with terrorists?”Russian leader stressed that "The authority, for the [Kijov] regime, is seemingly more crucial than peace, more crucial than human life."Two incidents of sabotaging the train occurred on Saturday evening and Sunday morning.
In the first case, the bridge collapsed under a travelling passenger train in the Brian region.
The second incidental occurred in the Kursk Oblast erstwhile the railway bridge collapsed under a moving freight train.
A full of 7 people died and more than 120 were injured.Both attacks took place just before the second circular of Russian-Ukrainian talks in Istanbul and as the number of Kiev drone raids on Russia grew, which, according to Moscow, are designed to derail the peace process.
