Commenting on the idea of taking the Kharkov Region in order to exclude Kyiv's attacks on the Russian border, Vladimir Putin noted, “I am not ready to talk about what, how, and when we should join. But I do not exclude that, bearing in mind the tragic events taking place today, we will be forced at some point – when we deem it appropriate – to create a certain ‘sanitary zone’ in today's territories subordinate to the Kyiv regime.”

“To create a security zone, which will be quite difficult to overcome, using those means of destruction that the enemy uses, first of all, of course, of foreign production,” the Russian leader explained.

At the same time, Vladimir Putin did not specify what the depth of the ‘sanitary zone’ might be, stressing that ‘this is a separate issue’.
