The 'Buffer Zone' Putin Proposed in Ukraine

At a press briefing on the outcome of the 2024 election, newly re-elected Vladimir Putin stated that Russia could be forced to create a "buffer zone" in the territories currently controlled by the Kiev regime.

President Vladimir Putin told journalists on Sunday that a potential "buffer zone" could be created to prevent Kiev from shelling Russia's territories with NATO-grade weapons in its possession.

Later in the day, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov clarified that the measure proposed by the president would be necessary to thwart continuous artillery and drone strikes by the Kiev regime against Russia's residential areas and civilian facilities.
