In a rare public appearance on Tuesday, Russian President Vladimir Putin defended Russia’s attack on Ukraine, the first time he has addressed the crisis since Moscow withdrew its soldiers from northern Ukraine when they were stopped at the gates of Kyiv.
Putin was escorted by his ally, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko, to the Vostochny space facility in Russia’s Far East to commemorate the anniversary of the Soviet triumph in launching the first manned space voyage.
When Russian space agency employees asked if the operation in Ukraine would succeed, Putin said, “Absolutely.” “I haven’t had a single doubt.”
