Global Focus: Putin Issues Ultimatum to Ukraine and Europe
On November 21, 2025, Moscow time, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated during a video conference with members of the Russian Federation Security Council:
Evidently, Ukraine and its European allies still hold illusions, dreaming of inflicting a strategic defeat on Russia on the battlefield. This position is due to the lack of objective information about the real situation on the battlefield. Evidently, neither Ukraine nor Europe understands what this will ultimately lead to.
Putin emphasized:
If Kyiv is unwilling to discuss President Trump's proposal (the 28-point plan) and refuses to discuss it, then both Kyiv and the warmongers in Europe should understand that the events in Kupiansk are bound to be repeated in other key areas along the front lines.
