"Putin's Buffer Zone Threat Sparks World War III Warning"

The Kremlin has stated that the only way to protect Russian territory from Ukrainian attacks is to create a buffer zone that would place Russian regions out of the range of Ukrainian fire. President Vladimir Putin raised the possibility of establishing such a zone after winning re-election, citing the need to secure territories in the face of Ukrainian drone attacks and shelling. This comes amid ongoing conflict between Russia and Ukraine, with Putin suggesting the potential creation of a "sanitary zone" in territories under the Kyiv regime to prevent foreign-made weapons from striking Russian territory.
