Russian President Vladimir Putin sees “no point in making any serious compromises” about ending the war in Ukraine — as Moscow launched a massive drone attack on Wednesday just hours after rejecting a US peace deal.
The arrogant dictator wasn’t prepared to make concessions and is said to still be “absolutely confident on the battlefield” even as the high-stake negotiations played out, Russian state media outlets reported.

Top Kremlin spokesperson, Dmitry Peskov, however, attempted to strike a more optimistic tone, claiming it had accepted some US proposals but defiantly rejected a slew of others.
“A direct exchange of views took place yesterday for the first time,” he told reporters.
