"Putin's Call for a 'More Constructive' US President in International Dialogue"
Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov expresses hope for a "more constructive" US president who understands the importance of dialogue with Russia and takes into account its concerns. Peskov criticizes the US for funding Ukrainian defenses against ongoing Russian attacks, calling it a waste of money and prolonging the conflict. He accuses the West of waging a "war" on Russia by bolstering military capabilities in Ukraine. Putin reiterates that the war in Ukraine will not end until his goals are achieved and dismisses the need for a second wave of mobilization, citing the recruitment of new soldiers into the Russian army.
