capital, Kyiv, where residents have been huddling in homes and shelters. Russian troops shelled areas in and around the city on Wednesday, including a residential neighborhood just 2.5 kilometers (1.5 miles) from the presidential palace. A 12-story Kyiv apartment building erupted in flames after being hit by shrapnel.
Putin went on television to excoriate Russians who don’t back him,
even as both sides expressed optimism over efforts to negotiate an end
to the fighting,
Russians “will always be able to distinguish true patriots from scum
and traitors and will simply spit them out like a gnat that accidentally
flew into their mouths,” he said. “I am convinced that such a natural
and necessary self-purification of society will only strengthen our
country.”
He said the West is using a “fifth column” of traitorous Russians to create civil unrest." Newsmax
