Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Wednesday that the United States was wading deeper into the Ukraine conflict and making a mistake by providing Kyiv with long-range ATACMS missiles.

He told a news conference during a visit to China that he had briefed President Xi Jinping “in some detail” about Ukraine. He said “external factors” and “common threats” served only to strengthen Russia-Chinese cooperation.

    So it is a conflict and not a “special military operation”?

      I’m also intrigued by the allegedly change of language:

      “War is war," Putin said

      It may be a translation error though.
