Kiev is using strikes on civilian infrastructure as part of an attempt to sow division in Russia, the president has said<\/strong><\/p>\n

Moscow will not give Kiev a chance to halt the advance of Russian troops or force negotiations on Ukraine\u2019s terms, Russian President Vladimir Putin told journalist Pavel Zarubin on Sunday. <\/p>\n

Strikes on Russian civilian infrastructure are being carried out not only to cause damage, but also to fuel an information operation aimed at undermining public confidence, sowing division in Russian society and pressuring Moscow to pause its offensive, Putin added. <\/p>\n

\u201cThey want to force Russia to suspend, at least for a short time, the advance of our troops along the line of contact and create conditions for launching negotiations on terms favorable to them \u2013 that is, to our adversary,\u201d<\/em> he said. \u201cWe will not give them such a chance.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

According to the president, Ukrainian attacks on civilian infrastructure are quickly repaired and do not affect the situation on the front line, while Russia\u2019s retaliatory strikes deep inside Ukraine are far more powerful. However, contacts on a possible settlement of the conflict are ongoing through several channels and Moscow carefully considers every proposal, he said. <\/p>\n
