Putin's Peace Offer: A Smokescreen Amidst Ukrainian Strikes on Moscow

Ukraine's strikes on Russian military facilities near Moscow have prompted a renewed focus on Putin's peace proposals. The attacks targeted factories producing drones, rockets, and microelectronics, significantly impacting Russia's military capabilities. "Putin's peace conditions are nothing more than a smokescreen," says Oleksiy, a Ukrainian military analyst. Germany's pledge to supply Taurus missiles to Ukraine adds another layer to the evolving dynamics of the war. These long-range missiles will allow Ukraine to strike targets deep inside Russia, potentially altering the balance of power. The conflict continues to unfold, with the potential for further escalation.
