«We can, of course, hit squares in Kiev and in any other city, I understand, everything is boiling with me, but what, we need to hit peaceful? No, we are hitting military targets, that’s what we will do,” said the head of state.

In addition, Putin commented on the massive missile attack of the Ukrainian army on December 30 on Belgorod. He called the incident a terrorist attack.
